The RCR Association’s Financial Report Financial Report Introduction This report, prepared for the 2020 AGM, provides the required details necessary to permit members of the Association to understand the state of the Association’s finances. The report includes three parts: • Report of Financial Position; • Statement of Financial Operations; and • Year-to-Date Budget. The details provided are for the period from 1 January to 30 April 2020. Background For many years, the Association has struggled to provide financial reporting in a myriad of ways, supported by a variety of tracking means. These means varied between a less than ideal set of Excel workbooks/spreadsheets, a small commercial accounting package, and lately, a professional bookkeeping firm. None of these provided precisely the reports that were required. During the same time, the Chair and the then Executive Director, developed and revised, the content and style of the reports yearly as they refined the requirements and the process. Current Methodology A smart excel-based application is used to both manage and report on the Association’s financial affairs. This app uses a form with selected data titles designed to reduce potential mistakes during data entry to the supporting database and the associated reports. The database automatically completes both the Statement of Financial Operations and the Year-to-Date Budget. Regrettably, the contents of the budget report have changed over the last few years in line with changes to the Association’s Strategic Plan, so it will be necessary to adapt this part of the app to the different budget layouts approved at the previous AGMs for the next few years. Conclusion This report is submitted for approval by the members of the Association at the 2020 AGM. Pro Patria A.D. McQuarrie Treasurer 2
