I've recently taken over as PTA treasurer at my daughters' school. No big deal (I've done a similar role before) however.....
The outgoing treasurer has given me print outs of past years' accounts but no electronic copies and no supporting papers such as invoices, expenses receipts etc, cheque book stubs, bank statements. Nor has she given me copies of the Charity Commission returns (although I can see they have been done and I think she is planning to do last years' but hasn't been totally clear about it.
I know it's not unreasonable to ask for the records (it's a requirement of the Charity Commission after all) but am I being unreasonable if I ask/politely insist that she involve me in the process of doing the 2013-14 CC annual return and the audit/review of last year's accounts? I can see that the last annual return went in 10 months after the year end and don't want last year's return to hang around for anything like as long. I've done a lot of voluntary work before and prefer to avoid situations where there is a prolonged handover from one volunteer to another.
