Financial accountability tips

If your club has a bank account, here are some questions to ask to assess if the club’s financial accountability is in order:

• Does your account have at least two signers from at least two different families?
• Does your club have an annual budget approved by the members?
• After a fundraising event, is the cash counted and reported by two individuals, not from the same family?
• If reimbursements are made, are the receipts signed and recorded?
• Are all checks for income made payable to the club account and not to any leader, member or other individual or firm?
• Are all checks promptly endorsed “For Deposit Only” in the name of the club?
• Does a committee of 4-H members and leaders conduct a review of the books each year?
