Computer Tools for Treasurers and Secretaries

A choice of two computer programs for conference treasurers to assist in managing conference financial records, issuing annual charitable receipts etc. Both systems are based on the Treasurer's Duties guideline issued by Toronto Central Council.. 

In addition there are two systems available to conferences to assist with tracking client assistance activities.  Please note that both programs for secretaries are different than the client record form we have been circulating recently.  In the near future we hope to combine the best elements of different versions into one form that members find useful.
