Policy needs a little attention. Ali 20:57, 21 July 2010 (UTC) Need to clarify if this means Collective member.
- I split this into three roles and brought it up to our current practice. I used beancounters to approve the bookkeeper, and the staff collective to approve who could write (not sign) a check. In the past we've had volunteer interns do some of the bookkeeping type work (under staff supervision), and we've talked about outsourcing bookkeeping to contractors as well.

Body that set the policy(s) on [lists.freegeek_meeting_Minutes Date Adopted].
- When a check needs to be written one staff member, approved by the beancounters, should write the check. A person authorized by the staff collective should record it in the books. A staff member, authorized by the board, should sign the check. This is meant to ensure that at least two different people on staff know why a check was written. In no case should a person who signs checks be tasked with entering transactions into the books or reconciling the books.
Notes
- As of 2010, Liane and Caitlin are the two authorized check signers.
