### Guide
|
|
As Treasurer, you are in charge of the society's finances. You need to make sure the committee makes good financial
|
|
decisions. Sometimes this means telling them to save money, other times you have to encourage them to spend it. It's
|
|
important to use the capitation funding for activities that benefit the society so that we can get enough funding in the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
I mentioned in duties that you are to attend the yearly treasurer's workshops, these dates will be communicated with
|
|
committees some time in advance of the workshops. I would advise you to attend, but it is possible that if you are on work
|
|
placement and are unable to attend the workshop yourself to ask another committee member to attend in your stead.
|
|
|
|
All receipts must state paid, or be obvious that it is paid, examples of this are:
|
|
* Invoices that state that there is no balance remaining, or mark that they have been paid in some way shape or form
|
|
* Receipts from shops that either state card payment or cash payment
|
|
* Electronic bus tickets if required for a trip.
|
|
|
|
On receipts, get them uploaded to the Nextclod drive in the with the name format ``YYYYMM-{Event}-{Person}.{extension}``
|
|
and upload them to wolves on a regular basis as they may be worth budget points (8 total, 4 per semester, 2 per quarter).
|
|
Unfortunately budgets only get released around week 3 or 4 as capitation available is based on attendance at the admin
|
|
seminars in weeks 1 and 2 of each semester.
|
|
|
|
Mentioning the admin seminars above, as a core committee position, you, along with the other core positions, (President,
|
|
Secretary, PRO & HSO) must make up one of the 2 attendees at C&S Council, so if it is possible for you to attend some of
|
|
them please do so, the other attendee just has to be a committee member.
|
|
|
|
After the AGM, you have to begin the process of getting the change of admins on the Bank Account, these are at least the
|
|
President and you, sometimes we have the secretary, though it is possible for another core committee position to take the
|
|
place of either the President or secretary as signatory if required. There is more information in regard to this on Nextcloud
|
|
due to the nature of the information.
|
|
|
|
It is also your responsibility to invoice C&S for the networking services that we provide at the C&S fairs each semester,
|
|
we are to bill them €2500 after the second semester one, there are more details available on the document on Nextcloud
|
|
where I go into specifics on it. The template for the invoice will be on Nextcloud too.
|
|
|
|
We need to remember to keep arround €2000 in the bank account as a float for purchases. This money must be replaced every
|
|
year.
|
|
|
|
When making large purchases, it must be added to the 3-year plan. Purchases are made first by a committee member and then
|
|
they are paid back, generally by Electronic Funds Transfer to the committee member.
|
|
|
|
There are 2 types of events where we would be accepting payments, trips and fundraisers. For trips, I would advise that
|
|
we use the Stripe payment facility available through the event on UL wolves, while there is a charge applied to this by
|
|
Stripe, it makes things easier on our end as we don't have to keep track on who had paid and who hasn't paid. As for the
|
|
fundraising events, we can accept cash or electronic payments. Cash is simple enough, you take the **lockable** lock box.
|
|
For electronic payments, I would advise the incoming committee to get one of the Sum up or Square card readers to process
|
|
card transactions, while there may be fees involved in this, it is one less job for you to get the money into the account
|
|
this way then the alternative of taking payments over Revolut.

### Summary
|
|
The Treasurer is one of the most important roles on committee, it helps with the running of the Society. Make sure that
|
|
you keep the receipts up to date, and plan the income and expenditure, and always remember to project all the funds that
|
|
we have available. Also remember that filling in the Budget is a team effort, get help with it. Most importantly enjoy
|
|
your time on committee. Best of luck for the upcoming academic year!
