CASPR Treasurer

ROLES OF THE CASPR TREASURER

The Treasurer will act as the advisor in all aspects of financial management, working closely with other members of the CASPR executive to maintain and protect the organization’s finances responsibly.  Financial accountability is of the utmost importance to our non-profit association.

In addition to being a critical role for the association and the Board, the Treasurer’s role requires close attention to technical detail. Board Members will seek financial leadership, knowledge and strategic advice often from the Treasurer. This means that the Treasurer not only has to take primary responsibility for finances, but to also strategize for future financial planning.

Since the Treasurer is ultimately responsible for the finances of the corporation, it is expected the Treasurer should keep neat and accurate records and pay attention to detail. The Treasurer should be available so as to handle transactions on a timely basis.
