Guest Lynn Posted September 7, 2018 at 07:19 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 07:19 PM Can the treasurer make a motion for the treasurer's report to be accepted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted September 7, 2018 at 07:22 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 07:22 PM The treasurer's report actually should never be formally accepted. The treasurer simply gives the report, the president thanks the treasurer for the report and then moves on to the next item of business. At most, the chair could say the treasurer's report will be placed on file, but that is something that should happen anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zev Posted September 7, 2018 at 08:27 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 at 08:27 PM The Treasurer's report should be referred to an auditing committee, and it is the auditing committee's report that is accepted or rejected.

Well... sorta... an annual report of all the association's transactions is part of Annual Meeting (or fiscal year) business -- that is what should be referred to an Audit Committee (or the like) for careful review. Monthly "updates" need not be audited (unless the association really wants to keep tabs on the Treasurer, for whatever reason.) See page 477.

There is also the possibility that the treasurer is confused and not aware of the proper parliamentary handling of his/her own report. Hopefully, the presiding officer is aware and able to correct the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
