The exchequer serves as the group treasurer. The kingdom exchequer manages the kingdom’s finances and oversees the exchequers for each local group in the Kingdom of Calontir.

Welcome new Chancellors of the Exchequer!

When you first take this office, it can seem overwhelming. In order for you to hold the Chancellor of the Exchequer office, you must be a paid member of the SCA and be a warranted officer. Fill out the intent to serve form (online form), have it signed by the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer or the current Seneschal, and forward it to the Kingdom Treasurer. The Treasurer and the Crown must warrant you at the beginning of every reign and several times during the reign. Be sure to read through the handbook (PDF). This will help prepare you more than anything.

There are plenty of forms (see below) to make our jobs easier and there is a Google group for asking questions and receiving all sorts of information. The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone in this job. Both the Kingdom Treasurer and the regional deputies can help you in many capacities. Never be afraid to ask a question!

Reports

Quarterly Reports
Event Financial Reports
Domesday Report

SUBMITTING REPORTS & APPROVAL
The Seneschal must approve each report. Quarterly reports can be approved by e-mail. A group Seneschal may send an e-mail directly to the Regional Reporting Deputy to indicate his or her approval. Domesdays, however, must be approved by an actual signature on a hardcopy of the report.

Copies of the ledger and bank statements are required with the quarterly reports. Scanning these items into PDF, JPG, or GIF format and sending via e-mail is a great way to save on postage.
