The Club Treasurer is responsible for managing the flow of money into the club and for allocating and recording how that money is spent to run the club. This is a vital role in a club as the treasurer works to ensure the club is able to meet its day-to-day expenses and prompts the need for increased club fundraising where a shortfall in income exists. The treasurer also works in conjunction with the chairperson in planning the development of the club e.g. creating annual budgets, estimating funds required for a capital project like a new pitch or clubhouse and projecting membership and income for future years to contribute towards prudent planning of the club’s future.

What are the typical traits of a Club Treasurer?

Like any position with a responsibility for handling money, the treasurer is expected to be transparent and honest in their dealings as............... a representative of the club. Good record keeping is essential and while a background in finance or accounting is not imperative for this role.

Also checking every teams bank statements and income and expenditure sheets.

· Issue payment reminders to coaches

Treasurers have financial oversight at a a club and know when memberships have not been paid. This is usually communicated to the member via the coach and can take several weeks before all members receive the communication in this ad hoc way.

· Seeking approval of the club’s committee for major expenditures

Different clubs will have different policies when it comes to spending money but a club treasurer would typically have to get the signature of either the Chairperson or Secretary or both to authorise payments from the club bank account and significant expenditures may need to be ratified by a board meeting or even a club AGM.

· Preparing financial statements ahead of the Annual General Meeting

· Reporting on the club’s financial performance at the club AGM

Once the preparation is done, the treasurer’s report will feature on the club AGM agenda and budgets and financial records will be reviewed by members and a new budget will be agreed for the year ahead.
