I think it's important to make clear the distinction between a
treasurer and a bookkeeper. A treasurer, whether a board member or
not, works directly for and with the board. They are the board's
connection to the organisation's finances. A bookkeeper is a member of
staff and does the day-to-day financial stuff. I don't think they even
report to the board - I think they report to the ED. They are very
different (although closely related) roles and shouldn't be confused.
All of the above is exactly correct.
