Finance

Finance can cover any of the processes and procedures required to collect, store, distribute, or account for the convention's money. The convention needs income to buy things, and the money has to stay somewhere before it is used. The process of making it clear the money was not wasted (or stolen)(an audit) must be clear as well.

At a minimum, someone must be granted the authority to collect, store, and distribute the funds of the convention. Typically this person is called the Treasurer. Physical property must be accounted for as well. One or more persons should be designated to audit the bookkeeping from time to time and report back to the Executive Committee.
