So, the intention is to use a spreadsheet to record any revenues and to record expenses?
It's not such a bad idea - double-entry book-keeping software as that from Banana Software (www.banana.ch) is nothing more than a glorified spreadsheet.
OK, and you are going to keep any monies you receive in a shoe box kept by someone under his/her bed and when some monies are received some mysterious person - obviously the person who goes to the post office to check for any mail - will place the cash or cheque (US lingo: check) into the shoe box. But what happens if s/he puts the cash/cheque into her/his pocket? Won't there be anyone to ensure that what was received is actually placed into the shoe box?
I would assume shoe box = bank account. Any cash payment should be made to the cashier who would also issue a receipt on behalf of the organisation.
And then some bills have to be paid. Who is going to take the money out of the shoe box and pay the bill?
Whoever has access to the bank account. Presumably again the cashier or someone to whom the task was delegated.
And will there be anybody to make sure that what is taken out of the shoe box (by whoever - in fact, who IS it going to be?) is actually the right amount and not some many dollars over what the bill is which then ends up in the pocket of the person who is taking the money out of the shoe box to pay that bill?
I assume the organisation would appoint an auditor who would carry out an annual audit etc.
And there will be cases when the revenue "you" may receive is subject to tax. Somebody will be able to record on the spreadsheet what part of such a payment is subject to tax and which part is not and how much tax is to be paid on the taxable bit, right?
This sounds like income tax in which case it is applied annually to whatever profits the organisation has made. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-foundation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-foundation+help@opensuse.org
