The Unit Management Team are the unit's trustees, headed by the Unit Chairperson (UC). The UMT is responsible for the running of the unit at a strategic and management level. The UMT Treasurer is appointed to oversee the units financial matters.
What will you be doing?
The Treasurer is to support the UC by collating and reporting auditable financial matters. This role will undertake "regulated activity" and will therefore require an enhanced disclosure with barring check to be repeated at no less than three yearly intervals.
The primary purpose of all the UMT Trustees is to support the UC to manage a safe, effective and successful Sea Cadet unit.
The secondary purpose of the Treasurer is to be accountable to the UC and fellow trustees for overseeing, collating and reporting financial matters including keeping efficient up to date accounts and monthly reporting of income and expenditure
The Treasurer is supported by the UC and is responsible for the following principle tasks:
- Keeping up to date and accurate records of all bank/building society accounts.
- Ensuring that all cash, cheques, etc are paid into the unit accounts and recorded in a timely and correct manner.
- Ensuring that all bank/building society accounts are only accessible through the signature of at least two separate signatories (It is recommended that there be at least three registered signatories for each account), all of whom must be current UMT members.
- Ensuring that monthly written reports are submitted to the UMT meetings including income, expenditure, liabilities and balances of all accounts. Any anomalies which have occurred must also be reported to the UC.
- Giving a full written report to the members of the unit at the AGM: this is to include income, expenditure, liabilities and balances of all accounts. It is recommended that a projection of costs for the coming year also be included in the treasurer's report.
- Ensuring that the annual returns are completed and checked by an appropriate person, or audited where applicable and signed as correct. These should then be submitted to the AGM, for acceptance by the members. The annual return may be used as the Annual Report, as below.
- Submitting returns and or any other forms to the relevant charity regulator before November of the following financial year.
- Ensuring that the Annual Statement of Accounts for the unit are completed and uploaded to the UMT Matters section on Westminster at the earliest opportunity, but at the latest before 31st October of the following financial year. A draft copy is to be sent to the Area Volunteer Business Support Manager as soon as available, prior to adoption at AGM, to assist with the UMT review process.
