Fortran Specialist Group Budget 2004-2005
Specialist Group Treasurer's Recommendations for Session 2004 - 2005
I recommend that we do the following over the next year to improve the treasury of
the Group:
- Send a copy of the accounts for 2003-2004 with the supporting
documentation to Colin Chivers in Swindon. Colin may be able to recover a
small amount of VAT.
- Change the arrangements for the payment of expenses and the like so that
they are handled by Swindon. There is a document in the file describing this.
- There is no need to change the arrangements for the cheque book, although
it may be more practical to do so. Currently, any two of Alistair, Sam and
Peter can sign to validate a cheque. Where a payment is more than £400 it also
has to be seen by Colin Chivers. As we move to all payments being made by
Swindon, the need for cheques will almost disappear.
- Change the address to which the bank statements are sent to that of the
new treasurer's. (I found it took a second letter to get the address changed).
I am moving home and will arrange for mail to be forwarded. Nevertheless this
puts the statements at risk.
- Investigate the use of Internet Banking for the treasurer. This may not be
possible, as it weakens the ability of the bank to verify that two of the
three signatories to the account have authorized a transaction.
- We should plan for an application for special funding for 2005 and beyond,
and ensure that we make application in good time to Swindon.
- We should apply for funding of general group activities, including
attendance of Group Representatives at SG Assemblies in 2004 - 2005.
I have been pleasantly surprised to discover the extent of the funding extended
to this group by the British Computer Society. Fortran has always had something of
a British accent. However without the financial support of the BCS, we would have
difficulty in maintaining that state. Fortran is far from dead, as those of us
working in scientific computing know. It is good that the BCS has generously
funded our activities, and I hope that it will continue to do so.
Over the past year, I have not found the task of being treasurer difficult in
itself. However I have often been uncertain of the procedures. I have been helped
considerably by David Muxworthy, Peter Crouch and Colin Chivers. I have
appreciated their help. I would also like to thank Sam Ellis for signing and
forwarding cheques and other administrative trivia in a timely manner.
