Greetings to all

I am currently looking for a successor to become the next Baronial Exchequer for the Barony of Rising Waters.  I will be resigning from my post with an absolute last date of May 2021.  I would like to have someone step up prior to May of 2021 so that I can show them the ropes and get them settled into the job.  This is an important position, as without an exchequer, we cannot have a Barony.

The position of Baronial Exchequer requires the following:

Generally

• A valid official SCA membership
• Attendance and reporting at monthly Baronial Officer meetings, virtually or in person.
• Retaining all Baronial banking information for an eight year retention period, which currently fits in a single banker’s box.
• Sending a quarterly report four times per year to the Kingdom Exchequer
  • January to March, report due May 15th
  • April to June, report due August 15th
  • July to September, report due November 15th
  • October to December, report due February 15th

Monthly

• Tracking local Baronial income and expenses
• Depositing money from local events, fight practices, mega practices, and fund raisers
• Writing Cheques to reimburse members for expenses that were agreed upon by the Barony
  • Note:  all cheques must be countersigned by a bank authorized signatory

Yearly

• Ensuring that the local Baronial financial policy is up to date

Event Related

• Tracking local Event income and expenses
• Writing cheques to pay for the site and to reimburse members for expenses that were agreed upon by the Barony
• Getting the float ready for local Baronial events
• Collecting money and counting the tills at the end of local Baronial events

As Needed

• Ensuring that the bank account signatories list is up to date and updating as needed when there is a change of officer.
  • Signatories include:
    • the Baronial Exchequer
    • the Kingdom Exchequer
    • the Baronial Seneschal
    • the Deputy Baronial Seneschal – if there is one
    • an agreed upon member of the Financial committee – if there is one.

BARON & BARONESS are not allowed to be signatories.

Signatories are not permitted to be members of the same household.

I know that it seems like a lot, however, even before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown of all SCA events, we were not a busy Barony.  We typically only hold two or three large events per year, a few mega practices, and fight practices.  Some quarters there is almost nothing to do except for writing a few cheques, making a few deposits, and the Quarterly Report.

If being the Baronial Exchequer sounds like a service that you  would like to perform, please send an email to exchequer.risingwaters@gmail.com
