Role and Responsibilities

The finance team plays a crucial role in collecting various forms of funding, including offerings, seed funding, and pledges. This involves creating standardised procedures for collection, ensuring proper documentation, and reconciling collected funds with records.

Stewards will also assist with collecting funds and supporting smooth financial transactions. So, collect financial data from various sources, including online payment platforms, card transactions, and cash collections, whilst ensuring that all data is accurate and complete. Furthermore, finance team ushers will maintain organised and well-documented financial records, categorising transactions for easy tracking and auditing.

Stewards may serve exclusively during the three-day conference; however, they will need to participate in practical training the day before the conference starts.

Additional information will be made available at a later stage.
