How is voting to approve the Treasurer's report "improper?" What our Board did was neither immoral, unethical, or illegal, just unnecessary. Please explain how it was "improper."

Thank you. Looks like what we were doing was not wrong, just unnecessary. We thought the Board should "approve" anything that gets posted at monthly general meetings. From now on we'll" review" the treasurer's report (which the treasurer presents in person, so she can't slip off to South Amierica.) We have defined "good standing" elsewhere in our By-Laws.

Our quilt guild's Board votes to approve the monthly Treasurer's report. Someone told me recently, this vote was not in accordance to Roberts Rules. Our By-Laws state that "the Treasurer shall keep accurate records of all funds of the organization and shall make a monthly, written, itemized report, to be posted on the guild bulletin board in the lobby of the meeting area, accessible to members and reflecting income and expnditures." The Board has always voted to approve the report before it's posted. Are we wrong? Our financial records are reviewed annually by an auditor but not monthly. The By-Laws also state "the books may also be audited at the request of the Board or any member in good standing with just cause."
