Revision as of 18:40, 31 December 2014

The Augustan Society, Inc., has established a Finance Committee under the Treasurer.

Some members of the Finance Committee are ex officio appointments to represent various groups. These are:

  1. Society — Treasurer
  2. Fundraising Committee — Chairman
  3. OAEEagle Receiver General
  4. NCRRose Receiver General
  5. SDLKJ — Dean
  6. SDI — Dean
  7. SDS — Dean
  8. SDC — Dean

The Treasurer may appoint such additional members as he may see fit, those serving at his pleasure. At present, these are:

  1. Assistant Treasurer for Budgeting

The duties of the Finance Committee are to propose to the Board annual budgets for:

  1. The Society
  2. The Order of the Augustan Eagle
  3. The Noble Company of the Rose
  4. The Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
  5. The Society of Descendants of Ireland
  6. The Society of Descendants of Scotland
  7. The Society of Descendants of the Conquest

and to set the investment policies for Society funds, including primarily the Endowment Fund.

Budgets for the sub-groups shall be solicited from them, and those approved and submitted by the deadline announced by the Treasurer will be given all possible deference.

Budgets for the sub-groups arriving after the deadline, or which are only the recommendation of the Receiver General, shall be given as much deference as may be possible at that point in the process.

Budgets for all groups must be made in cognizance of the cash flow situation. No budget that can reasonably be expected to require more liquid reserves than might be available in any month should be recommended to the Board.

All budgets must be recommended to the Board for their adoption not later than the last regular meeting scheduled for each budget year. Earlier is better, with August being the preferred month.

Should a budget not be adopted before the start of the fiscal year (1 January), Consuls may, at their discretion, extend the prior year's budget. Should a Director, the Magister Rosae, or the Dean of a sub-group object, no further expenditures will be made on behalf of that group until and unless the Board adopts a budget for them.

The Board is admonished that the lack of a Society budget means the lack of a Consular Contract, with the resultant termination of their services!
