What Does the Role Entail?
The role of Co-Treasurer is expected to involve a time commitment of around 4-6 hours per week in total, split between the post-holders. BuDS works remotely and flexibly using Microsoft Teams, so much of the work can be done at your own pace at times which suit you best. Meetings are kept to a minimum as all the Trustees are busy people.
Working closely with the Co-Chairs and Co-Secretaries, and split between the two Co-Treasurers, the five key responsibilities will be:
- The charity’s financial health and managing financial risks or hazards
- Supporting grant or contract applications and funding proposals
- Supervising financial admin and ensuring best practice and compliance
- Supporting the move to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation
- Curating the Annual Accounts
