Tough Action

The accounts, continued Otago, "are not even readable." In evident agreement with this remark, the constituents moved the following stipulations:

• The accounts of NZUSA will be frozen until a certified accountant rewrites them and presents a report to the next treasurer's meeting, to be held in May. In the interim, the constituents will provide a cash flow of £1000 for ordinary expenditure and £500 for the student travel bureau.

• An accountant will be hired to draw up regular five-monthly accounts, which will be reported at Easter and Winter Tournaments. "It is high time we employ professionals in the keeping of NZUSA financial accounts," said Victoria.

According to the amended budget estimate for 1966, the expenditure of NZUSA itself is likely to exceed £6000.
