Who keeps the paperwork - treasurer

[galina]

I suppose most people don't care if the treasurer loses receipts or the chairman fiddles a bit as long as the rents don't go up too much and the site is well managed - there has to be some perks for having to attend all those boring meetings.

I don't agree with that.  It may be voluntary, but it should be correct all the same, and every expenditure should be accounted for.  Perks taken out - definitely not!  If something very unusual qualifies for payment, it must be a committee decision and again, fully accounted for.

I totally agree with you.   I was treasurer of the allotment site I was on up to about 15 years ago and we always had 2 signatories on all the cheques or if anything was paid cash we always had a receipt.   All expenditure was approved by the committee before any money was committed.   In the 4 or 5 years I was treasurer I never had a query.
