Treasurer

As treasurer of Asset | Economics you are responsible for all financial, fiscal and legal affairs of the association. This practically means that you will be handling all financial transactions, sending out invoices and doing the financial administration. You have three major projects.

The first one is the budget. At the beginning of the year, together with your fellow board members, you are responsible to determine the budget of the next year. After this has been approved by the Audit of Accounts and the Department Members Meeting (DMM), you need to make sure your realization comes close to your budget. Moreover, you have to make sure that all ideas of your fellow board members are financially viable. This may mean that you are known as the buzzkill of the board. However, you are also the one that decides the budget for the drinks, which will make you very popular. Next to this, you are the representative for the treasurer of all committees, so you help them to make a budget as well.
