2006 Treasurer Survey Report
The 2006 Treasurers Survey was undertaken during June/July 2006.  Survey responses received by 31 October 2006 were included in the summary and analysis of information.  

This five-yearly survey provides the Board of Finance and Property with feedback from Treasurers on:

  • Pressures encountered by Treasurers, and their background expertise;
  • Types of changes occurring in their roles and responsibilities;
  • How the Financial Management Services Group (FMSG), BFP can best support and service them in their roles.

The 2006 survey responses also feed into FMSG BFP’s planning and service delivery processes.  Key strategies of FMSG for the next year include:

  • Improving communication with treasurers and provision of support services;
  • Finalising the drafting and distribution of reference materials (such as Treasurers Manual and GST Manual updates);
  • Prioritising development and delivery of training and awareness workshops;
  • Exploring additional solutions to ongoing pressures with financial management, compliance and reporting including workable income generation options and FMSG fee-for-service arrangements;
  • Exploring BFP’s capacity to service/fund congregations in the areas of: MYOB software, conduct of audits and/or other financial management arrangements.

Below to download are the detailed and abbreviated reports on the outcomes of the Survey.  The summarized results enable Treasurers to compare their individual congregations against presbytery and state-wide results.

We wish to thank all treasurers who completed and returned the surveys for their time and effort invested into this process.  We trust that you will reap the benefits of this additional effort through our improved awareness and capacity to deliver even more relevant and broader services to Treasurers in the future.
