Agenda
1. Attendance and Apologies
2. Minutes
Motion 1:
That the minutes of the General Meeting held on 15/16 November 2008 be confirmed as an accurate account of the proceedings of that meeting.
3. Accounts
Motion 2:
That the statement of accounts (PDF) for the 2008-2009 financial year be accepted.
Note: a summary Cash Flow Report is available in HTML.
4. Appointment of Auditor/Verifier
Motion 3:
That A Head for Business P/L be appointed to audit or verify the Association’s accounts for the financial period 01 July 2009–30 June 2010, if auditing or verification is required for that period.
Note: Auditing or verification is required if the Association’s assets or revenue exceeds specified values in a financial year ($100,000 for Level 1, $20,000–$100,000 for Level 2). This past financial year we were a level 3 organisation (under $20,000), so we did not need auditing or verification; all we needed was a signed statement from the President and Treasurer, which is included in the PDF statement of accounts mentioned above.
5. Election of Management Committee
If there are no additional nominations, please vote on the following motion.
