Vacancies

The Treasurer position is defined as an ‘Officer’ of Table Tennis Wellington (TTW). It is an elected position, up for election or re-election at the Annual General Meeting, usually held in March.

As per the Table Tennis Wellington Constitution, the duties of the Treasurer shall include:

• Receive all payments due to TTW, and pay all accounts owed by TTW.
• Keep correct accounts of all TTW's transactions, assets, liabilities, and funds.
• Prepare the audited Annual Accounts and present them to the Annual General Meeting.
• Determine the annual Honoraria due to eligible Executive Committee members of TTW and present it for approval at the Annual General Meeting.

In practice, funds received from table tennis activities may be banked directly to the TTW bank account by those involved in the activity or passed to the Treasurer for banking.

The Honoraria eligible to Officers (usually only the Secretary and Treasurer) are not based on any formula, more a token gesture from the organisation.

Additional Background

The annual Financial Year runs from January to December. The audit usually takes place in late January or early February, sufficient to enable the inclusion of financial documents in the Annual Report for distribution in early March.

The bank account is held with Westpac and all payments from that account require two online signatories. The Treasurer is usually one of the two (currently there are three signatories). Bank Statements are received monthly as of about the 7^th of the month.

There is currently no accounting software being used, spreadsheets being used at present. This situation may be changed by any Treasurer with the agreement of the Executive Committee.

Table Tennis Wellington is an Incorporated Society and is also GST-registered. The Treasurer has the responsibility of loading financial data to the Incorporated Societies website annually following the acceptance of the Annual Accounts by the Annual General Meeting.

The GST cycle is six monthly (May and November). Currently, a payments basis is used.

Please send applications to secretary@ttwellington.org.nz

The current Treasurer is stepping down in March 2025, however, we would be able to co-opt the selected candidate onto the committee prior to this date to ease the transition.
