Club Accounts

Every affiliated sports club has three accounts that are held by the Sports Union:

  1. Club Budget
  2. Club Savings
  3. Alumni/Reserves

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.

 

Finance Committee

The Sports Union has a Finance Committee that meets normally once a month to discuss any finance submissions that have been added to the portal.  The Finance Committe will approve or as more questions of each submisison via the portal.  Clubs should keep their eye on their sumbissions for updates.  Please see section 'Important Dates' for dates of Finance Committee Meetings.

All submisisons for upcoming events must be submitted before clubs attend the events and must be sumbitted before the next finance meeting that is due to take place before the event.  Any submissions after the event or after the Finance Committee meeting closest to your event might not be approved.
