  • Keep a close eye on spending against restricted funds, and raise any potential issues you identify with the CEO and Treasurer
  • Ensure that QBO is well maintained, liaising with the Treasurer over any structural changes proposed
  • Adhere to financial controls and ensure they remain fit for purpose, making recommendations to the CEO and Treasurer as appropriate.

As required
