Why have the signatories of cheques & bank documents not been changed for over 2 yrs? 2. Why are signatories being asked to sign blank cheques? 3. Why isn't our FCRA account revived? 4. Why are we operating our Club's FCRA account through somebody else's account? 5. When the agenda clearly states that the reconciliation of all accounts will be discussed by the board, why were the statements not sent. They ought to have been sent at least one week in advance for all the Directors to analyse and satisfy themselves or raise queries. Treasurer Sunil and Club Auditor Rajendra Nahar replied to these queries as follows: 1. Signatories of the club account have been changed--- President Aruna, Secretary Shikha and Treasurer Sunil are the current signatories. Documents for change of signatories to the Trust Account were presented at HDFC Bank, but under the new stringent regulations for Trusts, the process of changing signatories was was found to be too cumbersome. 2. No one is asked to sign any blank cheques- proper procedure is followed for signing cheques. 3. The procedure for operating FCRA accounts is too cumbersome and expensive. After considering all the pros and cons it was decided to close it. 4. CECF have obtained permission to import LN4 hands through their FCRA account and are thereby supporting our LN4 project. 5. As requested by the directors statement of accounts will be sent to them a week before the BOD meeting. I. PP Rtn Zimra Israel reported : She had approached the PMC authorities and has been able to arrange a park space for the Sundarji School’s Autism Awareness Program.
