Guest ICTV Posted May 19, 2010 at 02:17 PM Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 at 02:17 PM Our Members of our Executive Committion of the Board of Directors have differing opinions about what must be done with the treasurer's report. In the past, there has always been a motion to accept the report which required majority vote. A new member now claims that there need not be a motion, rather it can simply be reviewed and filed. Anyone with experience or definitive answer on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report is a report -- the assembly is not giving opinions on its validity, correcting it, etc., so approval is not in order. 'Such a report requires no action by the assembly.'

Chris Harrison Posted May 19, 2010 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 at 02:24 PM All right! Our first parliamentary procedure question here!! <<No action of acceptance by the assembly is required - or proper - on a financial report of the treasurer unless it is of sufficient importance, as an annual report, to be referred to auditors>> RONR p. 461 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
