The Accounting for Parents & Citizens Associations Manual can be found on the Education Queensland website at http://education.qld.gov.au/finance/procedure/pandc/
The Accounting Manual for Parents & Citizens' Associations (referred to as the manual ) provides information about the financial responsibilities and operations of a school parents and citizens' association (P&C) for P&C executives, school principals and auditors.
P&Cs, as vital and necessary partners in successful school communities, are governed by legislative requirements. By following the instructions in this accounting manual, you will ensure:
- the proper discharge of your responsibilities
- the sound financial management of your P&C
- that your P&C operates in accordance with legislative requirements.
Use the reference material as a base on which to establish the financial processes of your P&C.
This manual is an essential financial and management tool because it is the official financial management practice manual for P&Cs and has been approved by the Minister for Education. Many of the practices it outlines are mandatory. Whenever you see the word must, this indicates that this activity is compulsory. The use of should indicates only that an activity is recommended.
The manual is divided into four main sections:
- P&C responsibilities
- procedures and processes
- other topics
- examples and proforma.
