Treasurer’s report for the year 01 July 2008 till 30 June 2009

Financial activity

This financial year’s main activity was once again hosting the TMQ workshops. Our workshop income was $45,038 ($45,754 in 2008), while the expenditure was approximately $33,953 ($28,615 in 2008).  While we haven’t made a loss this year our expenses are rising but our income is not.  We will need to consider raising our prices next year.  The price of the workshops has remained the same for the last 3 years. Workshop attendance for the current 2008-09 financial year was up but the trainer fees and expenses were higher.

We sponsored a CATSIG member to attend the LIANZ conference in 2008.  Our expenditure was $1,747.  We sponsored a speaker for the 2009 conference at the cost of $11,250.  We sponsored the catering for the 2009 national wide RDA seminars at the cost of $3,750.
