This post is mainly targeted at the Treasurers of membership organisations among us, but others are of course welcome to chip in.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>At WMAU, we&#39;ve recently had a request from one of our members for a monthly report of the chapter&#39;s financial situation to be made available to members.  This is somewhat unusual, as I don&#39;t recall ever being in an organisation that has done this on a monthly basis for its members, as opposed to an end-year summary at the AGM, which we do already do.  What I think is specifically being requested is a balance sheet and P&amp;L statement as at the close of every month.  I&#39;m a bit hesitant to do this to be honest, while I often answer specific questions from members, unaudited MA figures can sometimes be misleading and move about a bit as various adjustments are made for the auditor.  Naturally, within five minutes of being released to our members, the documents could be anywhere, so it&#39;s as good as making them public.  Does any other chapter provide this sort of high level information on a regular basis, other than at the annual general meeting (or equivalent)?<br>
<br>We&#39;ll also be seeking advice from the relevant department of government on this question, but I wonder if anyone else has some experience or perspectives to share?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Craig Franklin<br>
