Budget account is used to pay for items that were approved in your budget. For example affiliation fees. It can only be used to pay for items that were approved via your budget. It can not be used to pay for anything else. This account is cleared down come the end of June. Any monies left in this account are absorbed back into the Sports Union.
Savings account is an account your club can use to save for Christmas Dinners, Tours, equipment etc. This account is the reponsibility of the club. It is not cleared down - it will roll over to the next year.
Alumni account is used to pay for items your club were given funding for via your successful Alumni application. This account can roll over to the following year as long as Alumni are informed in advance.
