My term as exchequer is over in June. I do not plan to run for a second term and am calling for letters from all who are interested in serving as barony exchequer.
As exchequer, you are expected to be completely familiar with the SCA financial policy as well as the kingdom and barony policies. These documents are available online. You need to be thorough in record keeping and to complete event reports, quarterly financial reports, draw up the yearly budget, based on the previous year. All of these are using excel or online google docs. You are required to submit NMR paperwork and fee, event reports with supporting documentation, and financial reports with supporting documentation on time. You need to maintain financial records for 7 years. You are the keeper of the barony checkbook and will need to write checks as needed, get a second signature, and arrange to deliver them.
In addition to being responsible for the barony financial assets, you are responsible for other assets. These are mostly in the keeping of the baronage, the pennsic trailer, the officers, larder, gold key, and iron key. Once a year, in November, it is your job to nag people for the inventory of their assets.
If you are interested, send a letter with your experience and intent to barony seneschal, Magister Ceindrech, seneschal@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org, and to me exchequer@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org, by June 3rd. The election will be held at the June business meeting. That is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4th. It has been my privilege serving as your exchequer.
In Service,
Hara Kikumatsu
