Fixing community organisation accounts when you’re handed a mess

vtadmin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:06:34 +0000

You are a volunteer treasurer who is handed the books in a mess and they need to be fixed before you can continue. The community organisation accounts haven’t been audited for two years, some of the paperwork is missing, where do you start?? Here are the nine steps we suggest:-

If your organisation is affiliated with a peak body, ask them if they provide any support in this situation;
Contact the auditor to ask for guidance (they may even offer to provide some assistance in the process);
Talk to the main suppliers and ask for details of bills that have been paid during the period;
Get bank statements (& the cheque butts) for the period;
Sorting the invoices into date order may help to line them up with the payments on the bank statements;
The audited accounts from previous years might give some clues about he invoices paid in the missing years;
Whatever system you use for recording the transactions (please tell me it isn’t a paper cash book or a spreadsheet because that would add to the tedium), record all the items you can easily identify first, based on the source documents (bank statements, receipt book and cheque book if you have them), then fill in the blanks from your other research;
Reconcile each month to the bank statement as you identify the transactions; and
If you get completely stumped, ask the auditor for guidance. They might be willing for you to record the unidentifiable transaction as “Other Income” or “Other Expenses”.

Google for Non-Profits Seminars by Google

vtadmin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:32:37 +0000

Following a very successful trial last year Google is planning to run another series of free information sessions to educate Not for Profit organisations about the products, services and support that Google offers to not-for-profit organisations.

The sessions are delivered entirely by Google employee volunteers and are designed to provide a broad, high level overview of Google’s not-for-profit solutions – everything from Gmail & Blogger to Youtube & Maps. Information will be provided on the Google Grants programme but NFP organisations are encouraged to come along regardless of whether or not they are eligible for grants. The sessions are best suited to leaders from charitable organisations that are interested in getting a general understanding of how they can use Google technology to make their organisations more effective.

Sessions are limited to only 50 people and places will be issued on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. Only one person from an organisation can attend each event. The events last year were heavily oversubscribed so it would be best to register soon.
