- Maintain the log of equipment the society owns or subsequently purchases.
- This list is currently haphazard due to inability to access the server room during COVID-19. It may be wise to go through the list at the bottom of this page and double check that equipment actually exists and that quantities are up to date.

### Health and Safety:
Normally our events do not feature any high risk activities. When handling heavy objects (e.g. equipment for recruitment drives), make sure multiple people carry them. Be familiar with Health and Safety and COVID-19 statements on UL Wolves (https://cp.ulwolves.ie , https://ulwolves.ie/support/resources , https://ulwolves.ie/support/guide ) and propose an update if you feel it's needed. Maintain a safe environment, e.g. tuck the long cables away so members won't trip. Check members' dietary needs and allergies before ordering food. Always report all injuries and accidents (see the links above).
### Training:
Computer Society events require dealing with advanced equipment and technologies. If training or resources are needed by the members or the committee, you should organise it. You could help a member with a Wordpress setup during an event, send a link to a Youtube tutorial, write instructions for an ESP project etc.

### Equipment:
CompSoc has a lot of equipment, adapters, cables which are stored in our Server Room in the Student Life building. Make sure there are people to help you handle equipment before every event. Get to know the "Equipment & preparations needed for X event" - it's a helpful checklist, it's attached below and the editable version is on 2020/21 Google Drive. It's your legacy - make sure you update and maintain it for future committees, and use it before every event. Remember that many events need early attention e.g. for VR events the Steam and the PC need an update, preferably the day before the event in the evening or on the day in the morning. Don't forget about the cables, keep them in the right boxes - it's all attached below for your convenience.
The recruitment (rec) drive happened online last year. Usually the on-campus networking setup is done by CompSoc and you should keep your schedule open on that day. You should arrange the transport of the storage boxes with access points, routers and cables. The OPC might use their van (sprinter) and bring the equipment along with theirs over to the venue. The rec drive is the entire Society's responsibility, so you're not alone. Ask the more senior members for help and use your initiative to actively help out.
# Summary
As a Health, Safety, Training and Equipment Officer you should watch out for dangerous behaviours, review the Health and Safety and COVID-19 statements on UL Wolves website on a regular basis and ensure COVID-safe environment. Hopefully as the 2022/23 year progresses, COVID-19 will be less of a concern for the society. However if it resurfaces it is a vital part of your role
You should make sure that if someone needs to learn something, you help them find useful resources. This could be a skillshare course, a youtube video or a helpful forum. You're basically google as a person. You are responsible for equipment and you should plan what is needed before each event. You must prepare the equipment early, come 15-20 minutes before the events and make sure everything is set up, updated and charged. You should stay after events to tidy up and bring the equipment back to the server room (Last year the server room closed at 9PM so equipment needs to be in there at 8.55PM) - but make sure a few more people come early and stay late to help you carry the bulky equipment.

When you first read this document, you should transfer the "Equipment needed…" file to the new 2021/22 Google Drive folder; ask for a link on Discord. Same with the equipment list, and check out the docs attached below.
Finally, don't be afraid to try out something new. As HSTE Officer last year, I suggested we upgrade the 3D printer, this became 2 events, the first of which was one of our most popular events of the year. However this has not been finished. All the parts are in a box in the server room, the instructions on finishing it can be found here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2263216 , There is 1 3d printed part that is broken however it can be super-glued. I unfortunately did not get to finish it before leaving for co-op . It could be completed as an event or you could finish it yourself. If you need assistance with it I will be happy to oblige.

The purpose of this document is to assist the
incoming CompSoc Public Relations Officer for the AY 2022/23
## Duties:
The duties of the Treasurer of CompSoc are to record income and expenditure, and to manage the use of
the societys bank account and online banking facilities. This involves the following tasks:
- Changing the bank mandate at the beginning of the semester (could take a while as BOI are annoying)
- Changing the online banking admin details (Currently Leo and Eve are the admins)
- Collecting ALL receipts for all income and expenditure (very important)
- Recording all income and expenditure on wolves.ie
- Uploading copies of all receipts to the online budget
- Collecting bank statements and other post, from our pigeonhole in the C&S room (up the stairs in the
SU, first door on the right (double doors), on the right hand side of the wall in a cupboard)
- Keeping bank documents and records in order, upload to wolves as well
- Collecting membership fees and other payments from members of the society (best to use bank
transfers for any large payments, avoid cash if you can)
- Doing the annual Budget at the end of the academic year (very important, so we get a budget the
next year)
## Guide
Treasurers workshops are held near the beginning of each semester and are quite useful. These workshops
are useful to learn about the budgeting system, and they also count towards budget points.
As Treasurer, you are responsible for everything related to finance within the society. You will weigh in and
ensure that the society doesn't waste money, but instead focus on spending money on one event and improving the society. A €1000 drone may be not be very useful, but getting that much worth of raspberry
pi kits or electronics kits to run events with may be more useful etc.
### Banking-Mandate+AdminSetup
The first thing that you should do after the AGM is change the bank mandate which will be made up of the
newly elected core committee (President, Secretary and Treasurer), this is essential in order to access funds.
BOI like to change the forms that are required to do this all the time, so what might be correct one month,
will be the wrong form the next month. You do not need to fill out Credit Card application / Debit card
application sections. The bank account we have is an Unincorporated Bodies account. The best bet is to go
to the bank in person and get the correct form from them, Paul, Aisling and Lisa may also send it out in an
email.
BOI may not email/text/notify you that it has gone through, so you will need to contact them to check up on
it and make sure its being worked on.
Then online banking should be setup. The way of doing this changes as well unfortunately. Currently, Leo and
Eve are admins for the account. They can add users who can access the business online banking. Currently,
the Approval app is used for that. You will want to change the admins after sorting out the mandate. Choose
two people from core who will be with the society for the next year as this makes it easier to keep access to
the account. There is a change of Admins form where you fill in the current admin details and the new admin
details, and then you go into the bank with this. Then the two admins will need to call and activate their
accounts, it helps if they are in the same place as they will need to enter a code together.
### Receipts+Expenditure
Throughout the year you must ensure that every expense that the society has is accompanied by a receipt.
No matter how small/large it must have a receipt. An amazon purchase, something from a shop, receipts
from a foreign trip, you must save everything. Take photos/scans as soon as possible of the receipts and
upload them straight away to wolves, that way you cant lose/forget about them.
To be a valid receipt, it MUST HAVE: Date, Price and should say PAID. Try to have it in Euros or get the
amount charged in euro from the bank account that paid it to accompany it. If it says Invoice, it must say
paid on it to be valid (unfortunately places incorrectly call receipts invoices).
In the online budget system every expenditure is accompanied by a digital receipt which will be reviewed
throughout the year and approved and denied if a receipt is denied then you need to go and talk to Lisa
about why it was denied and what you can do to fix it. (It might take a while for things to be
approved/denied, thats fine, just keep up to date with your receipts and upload as you go, dont wait till
the end of the year).
### Handling Cash
There are THREE CASH BOXES in the server room, one is where we keep petty cash and the other is where
we keep physical receipts from this year, sorted cash/coins from events, and the spare server room key, and
its logbook. Neither cash box has a lock but as they are kept exclusively in the locked server room it doesn't
matter.
The THIRD cash box is to be used for events. It has a key, so it stays closed, it is not very secure and should
be kept safe, watched, and not left unattended. It is intended for collecting €2 from everyone for a code-off
for example and then emptied at the end of the night into a Ziploc bag or something to sort for depositing.
### Income
All cash should be deposited into the bank account. There is a QUICK LODGE CARD in one of the lock boxes,
it can be used to deposit notes into the bank account. Loose change needs to be sorted into bags of €50 for
€2 etc., its best to wait for coins until later on in the semester, so you can group them better. You may need
to personally just swap €10 of mixed coins for a €10 note.
The bank only accepts coins on certain days.
UPLOAD the receipt to wolves for the income.
For any sponsorships, get an invoice stating the amount sponsored for wolves. Use the current date as the
invoice id. Ask the president for the template. CompSoc Internal Invoice Number: #YYYYMMDD
### Sponsorships
We try to get sponsored by companies for our events which help our budget.
Red bull typically sponsor our code-off every year with a donation of cans.
Aristea Networks Ireland started to sponsor us this year and want to partner with us for sponsoring prizes for
events / hoodies etc. Emer OKelly eokelly@arista.com is the point of contact.
Analog devices have sponsored €400 towards hoodies for us in the past.
The UL ECE department sponsored part of the cost to visit an AI conference as well.
### Recruitment Drive Payment
The society receives €2,500 each year from C&S for our services at the Recruitment Drives, when the January
drive is completed you need to issue the C&S office with an invoice for €2,500 for “I.T. Services at the C&S
Recruitment Drives”. From time to time we get paid for things by companies and departments in UL for these
invoices also need to be issued in the same way. When dealing with UL for money our UL supplier ID is 14521,
this number must be provided on any invoice submitted to UL. We are an approved supplier to UL, and they
use this number to pay us. There should be invoice templates on the Google Drive or ask the President as
they are in the documents section of the Presidents folder
### BankAccountsBestPractices
Try to keep a minimum of €1000->€2000 in the bank account at all times. Its useful for making purchases
without having to wait for capitations to open in October. We also use it to float purchases until capitations
come through. Try not to use this money unless you know it will be replenished. Get capitations as soon as
possible to replenish it.
### Paypal
We do have a PayPal account, its too much hassle to keep using it / access it, try to avoid it.
### Alumni
Alumni pay membership fees as a bank transfer for 5-year accounts. If they pay on wolves its only a year.
## Summary
To summarise the Treasurer is one of the most important roles on the committee because without money
the society would cease to function. It can be a difficult role, but it is a very rewarding one. Make sure to
keep track of all the societys income and expenditure and have the receipts and bank statements to back
up what you have submitted. Good luck with your new role, should you need any help you can contact me
on discord, or you can have a look at the other treasurer handover documents that are available on wolves.
