Responsibilites

General Ledger

At the start of the fiscal year the Treasurer creates a system in Google Sheets to keep track of all incoming and outgoing funds across all accounts which includes the General Ledger, a collections sheet, a PO (purchase order) sheet for each team, and a PO sheet for general orders.

Financial Planning

At the start of the fiscal year, the treasurer creates a plan that includes estimates for all expected income and expenditures.

Placing Orders

There are three main ways the treasurer places orders

1. Reimbursement - Generally recommended for small orders (less than $ 100 or so) and time-sensitive orders. Required for PayPal payments due to fraud risk. Limited to $ 2000 as of FY20. Should be minimized if possible since reimbursement checks take weeks to arrive.

2. Purchasing card - Generally recommended for everything else (>$ 100 and <$ 2500).

3. Mailed check from Georgia Tech Accounts Payable - Use only when recommended by a SOFO accountant. This will require coordination with SOFO.
