The Role of the Treasurer

The Treasurer is required to:

  • Ensure adequate accounts and records exist regarding the Club’s financial transactions, including accurate and up-to-date records of income and expenditure
  • Coordinate the preparation of an annual budget and monitors this carefully
  • Issue receipts and promptly deposit all monies received into the Club’s bank account
  • Make all approved payments and invoice groups / members
  • Act as signatory with at least one other committee members on the Club’s bank accounts
  • Manage the Club’s cash flow
  • Prepare and present regular financial statements to the committee at meetings

Preparing the Club’s Budget

A budget offers the Club a better means of planning. It is therefore important that the Club together with the Treasurer develop a Financial Plan (budget) for the Club on an annual basis. When preparing the budget it is important to identify possible sources of income and expenditure.  Obtain estimates from all budgeted areas such as Administration, training and development, player/coach development programs, facilities / equipment etc on amounts likely to be spent and received.  Remember to make adjustment for inflation and likely increased costs. Present this information to the Committee so that everyone is aware of the anticipated financial position of the Club for the season.
