Liaising with fellow Trustees regarding discussions with prospective new users of the Centre.
Making payments on behalf of the Association in accordance with agreed procedures.
Monitoring the Association’s bank account and preparing monthly bank reconciliations.
Preparing the annual budget in consultation with the Trustees.
Providing regular (normally monthly) financial reports to the Trustees, comparing actual income and expenditure against the approved budget.
Advising the Trustees on the financial implications of proposed activities and initiatives.
Preparing the annual accounts, arranging for independent examination, and submitting the required returns to the Charity Commission following approval at the Annual General Meeting.
Administering annual maintenance contracts.
