Finance

The Finance Officer (FM) is primarily responsible for issues involving revenue and expenses before, during,
and after the encampment.

The FM reports to the Executive Officer and serves as an ad-hoc TAC Officer in addition to the duties regarding
encampment finances.  Note, in most cases the Executive Officer will also serve as the Finance Officer.

The duties of the Fiance Officer include:

    Opening a new checking account for the encampment in compliance with ILWG Account policies

          including securing the signatures of ILWG corporate officers as directed.
    Consulting with the Encampment Commander on the annual budget.
    Deposit and tracking of all revenue in advance of the encampment.

    Writing of all checks during the activity.

    Voting member of the encampment finance comittee with spending approval and authority.

    Completion of end-of-activity finance report in compliance with ILWG directives.

    Quarterly reporting as required by ILWG (assumes multi-year commitment).  

Those interested in serving as Finance Officer should have a working knowledge of the CAP financial regulations
and policies, preferably in service as a squadron FM, ILWG reporting and account policies, and/or similiar business

experience. Working knowledge of Quicken is required.

The Finance Officer is required to participate in most planning activities from January to April (and beyond),
RST, and be available for the entire encampment, including (preferably) the entirety of both Fridays.
In addition the FM will work with the Encampment Commander on the transition to new accounts.  Because of the
need to be in proximity to Group and Wing HQ for required signatures, deposits, and other transactions, the FM
will need to live or work within the NW Cook, Lake, or DuPage County area.
