How to Start a Naturist Club - Record Keeping

Record Keeping

From the very beginning, complete and accurate records mush be kept of all your group's decision, activities and finances. So much time, effort and good will can be lost if the resolutions of every meeting and discussion are not readily available. No matter how simple the activity, no one can be expected to recall exactly what was decided at any previous meeting, with the result that much time and trust can be lost in going back over lost ground.

This is especially true in the matter of finances. The bookkeeping too can be simple but it must be able to account for every cent, and this should be verified by an annual audit by members form other committees or an experienced bookkeeper.

As time goes on, responsibilities and records will inevitably be passed on to other members who will be completely at a loss unless they can review the records of what has been done and assess the requirements of the work they are assuming.
