Clubs - Treasurer
Ensure prompt payment of match fees by captains. If you allow a captain to get into serious arrears on match fees then it gives the club a problem, and potentially the captain a problem.
Ensure a system is in place to track match fees owed. Don’t let players get away with “I’ll pay next week” and never actually make up their debts.
Pay the club's bills - AFA, League and Cup entry fees, pitch fees, catering costs, etc.
Ensure the club has suitable insurance policies in place.
Ensure the club accounts are kept up-to-date, and financially sound. Ensure you have enough funds at the start of the season to pay affiliation fees, pitch bookings, new kits etc. Many of these have to be paid up front before a ball is kicked (and therefore, before any subs are collected).
Present accounts to the club’s AGM.
