Owing to the ch nge in ur fiscal year and
depending on checkbook stubs and pass book
for our book-keeping,- a method that I in-
herited but which I do not recommend, since
we have become more active and more business
is transacted, as it makes a detailed
accounting difficult,- checking on a savings
account also adds to the difficulties-, I
took my troubles to an expert accountant and
he has put it in form and shows that all
balances.
I purchased a cash book that will make
a simple method of book-keeping easy and con—
venient and recommend that the club have
two accounts,- a savings and a checking
account.
The figures given in the report have to
go back of the last annual meeting because
of checks not checked up. On asking for a
balance it is frequently incorrect on that
account.
The check for $150.00 for prizes at the
Flower Show and the two prizes awarded by
the club, of $6.00 and $4.00 for 1926 and the
check for $70.00 for the luncheon and one
for $4.95 to Mrs. Hillenmeyer for ribbon that
had been placed to her private account, must
be deducted from the total listed to get a
correct year's expense account: but had to be
dealt with.in a complete financial statement,
Making this deduction leaves a surplus for
the year of $56.14 tho you understand there
is a bank balance of $769.49 with which to
begin the next year. Then certain ex-
penditures for this yean's Flower Show is
equivalent to cash as they are still availabee
for next year. Making our year from July
to July, using a checking account and a cash
book will simplify things very much for
the treasurer.
