Hello All,
My task was to combine the FP of society and Avacal/Montengarde. Note: Avacal and Montengarde are identical. See below for the 2 policies and please find my re-write titled Draft:. I will accept any changes by May 31, 2024 to present at the next FC meeting. (exchequer@montengarde.org) Cynnia MacTire.

SCA FP
X. SPECIAL PURPOSE AND DEDICATED FUNDS A. Accounting records must support segregation of funds by purpose. When setting up special purpose/dedicated funds, a primary and secondary purpose, and expiration date for inactivity, will be established by the Financial Committee. Funds raised will be used for the primary purpose first. If it is not possible to fulfill the primary purpose or if there are residual funds, the funds will be directed to the secondary purpose. The final destination for all special purpose funds will be the General Fund.

Montegarde and Avacal FP
Appendix 1: Dedicated funds description

The Montengarde Financial Committee must approve the establishment and dissolution of dedicated funds. New funds shall be established with funds raised by the related office, not from general funds. Funds raised for a specific purpose can be directed to general funds if not used in 5 years. Funds that drop below zero shall be discussed by the Financial Committee to determine the required action.
