Mid Year Financial Review: it's a good thing!

11/1/2012

Consider encouraging units to conduct a mid-year Financial Review.

A financial review can assure members that funds were properly
administered. It demonstrates that Board of Directors properly performed
its responsibilities, provides a reliable, verifiable point from which the
incoming Board can begin its financial stewardship, and can reassure
membership that the PTA funds were properly handled. It can also reassure membership that the board of directors fulfilled its duty of being financially responsible.

A review can provide a point of reference for the incoming board of directors.  (New treasurer should never take possession of books until
they have been reviewed.) Treasurer should not take the request for a
financial review personally—it is sound business practice.
