Finance and general purposes committee

The finance and general purposes committee

The finance and general purposes committee is an established sub-committee of the Trefoil Guild board of trustees, with representatives from the countries and regions. The group supports and advises the board of trustees and has a broad remit of responsibilities overseeing financial aspects of Trefoil Guild such as budgetary management, investments, the annual accounts, grant requests and annual subscription rates.

The committee also supports Trefoil’s statutory responsibilities, including researching and drafting policies and procedures, monitoring our compliance of GDPR and, of course, risk management. But the committee covers much more than this. They support Trefoil’s digital areas, such as KEY (the membership database), our website and the handbook.

Members who volunteer on the committee use their personal skills and experience to progress the business of the committee on behalf of the board of trustees. They bring in external advisers with professional knowledge, if required.
