Trustee - Treasurer (volunteer role)
The main purpose of the role is to maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs, ensuring its financial viability, compliance with our charitable objects, company and charity law, and the maintenance of proper financial records and procedures.
Whilst the Treasurer provides leadership and scrutiny in relation to the charity's finances, responsibility for the financial stewardship, governance and compliance of the charity rests collectively with the Board of Trustees.
About the role
As volunteer treasurer you will maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs, ensuring its financial viability, compliance with our charitable objects, company and charity law, and the maintenance of proper financial records and procedures.
You will chair the Finance Sub-Group where you will scrutinise The Carers Centre’s management accounts and review finance policies and procedures. You will also share your interpretation and recommendations to the Board.
Once a year, you will undertake an internal review of one aspect of our accounts. This is separate from the annual external examination of our accounts by Monahan’s.
Please note, for this role you will be required to provide character references and complete a Disclosure and Barring Service check. These will be organised with you, by The Carers’ Centre, once you are accepted.
