Greetings, kinsfolk!
My office has been very quiet, which is a good thing.
Those reading closely will note that I did not get the survey out last month regarding exchequer education. I plan to do so soon, hopefully before this is published. I and my deputies want to help train and educate, and we want to get feedback from the people who need it, so that we can be more effective. Thanks in advance for your thoughtful responses.
While I have a year in office yet, I would like to relieve Bayard of his position as Emergency Deputy Exchequer and install someone who is interested in serving as Kingdom Exchequer. Interested gentles would serve as Emergency Deputy Exchequer, a position that does not have any official duties other than to be copied on Kingdom Exchequer emails and generally be prepared to step into the Kingdom Exchequer office in case of emergency. Please contact me if you are at all interested or have any questions.
The requirements of the role are as follows.
The Emergency Deputy Exchequer is a Deputy to the Chancellor of the Exchequer; is responsible for directly assisting the Chancellor of the Exchequer with all aspects of their position; and has the ability and willingness to take over the position in case of an emergency which would prevent the Chancellor of the Exchequer from performing in this capacity.
Chancellor of the Exchequer duties include, but are not limited to, financial oversight of the Kingdom and its assets; ensuring compliance to Financial Policies; reporting compliance for all Kingdom Branches; compilation of reports for all the Branches and the Kingdom accounts; and maintaining and updating Kingdom Financial Policy (in accordance with Society Financial Policy) and Kingdom Budgets. These duties also include delivering and meeting deadlines for the following:
• Ensure that all necessary steps are completed to become a signatory on all Kingdom bank and investment accounts.
• Ensure that they have online access to all banking and investment accounts, Chancellor of the Exchequer files in the Kingdom online records storage system (currently SharePoint), and the Kingdom bookkeeping system (currently QuickBooks).
• Ensure that they are familiar with Financial Policies, reporting requirements and processes, and any Exchequer responsibilities defined by Kingdom Law.
• Complete any appropriate training offered by the Society Exchequer and/or the Society Treasurer.
• Read emails sent to the email address associated with the office on the Kingdom webpage on a regular basis; and respond to all requests in a timely manner.
Time Commitments
