The Dreaded Sunday AGM
Every building treasurer dreads the Annual General Meeting. You spend your Sunday morning listening to angry cross-examinations about a plumbing bill from eight months ago.
Why does this happen? Because human memory is short, and paper receipts get lost in shoeboxes.
The 4-Step Checklist for a 100% Peaceful AGM
- Digital Reconciliation of Cash vs Bank:
- Never maintain all funds in cash. Every cash collection must be deposited or balanced against an official receipt voucher.
- Every Expense Linked to Vendor Invoice:
- When Naseem the electrician replaces the lift contactor for Rs 8,500, snap a photo of his handwritten receipt and tag it to the expense entry on the spot.
- Monthly A4 Society Financial Bulletins:
- Don't wait for the year-end AGM! Nearlify lets you generate an official printable A4 society statement with the Hon. Treasurer Stamp and share it directly on the resident WhatsApp group every month.
- Surplus Reserve Segregation:
- Clearly separate operational funds from the Elevator & Sinking Reserve Fund so residents know their money is safely stored for future building value.
