To pass the following

“It is
resolved that subject to the provisions of section 4A of the 1968 Friendly and
Industrial and Provident Societies Act, the members of the Society shall not
require an audit for the accounts covering the financial years ending on 31
December 2016 and 31st December 2017 when they are presented to the
following AGM of the Society to be held in 2017 or 2018.
The
members of the Society agree that the accounts for the financial years ending
on 31st December 2016 and 2017 and for which reports will be laid before the
following AGM do not require a full audit provided that:
a) the total income for that year does not exceed the threshold laid down by Supporters Direct for audit exemption (currently £25,000);
b) an independent examination of those accounts is carried out in place of the full audit. The independent examination will be carried out in line with the best practice of Supporters Direct; and
c) a report from the independent examiner is included within the accounts and circulated to members.
The
Society notes that:
·
An independent examination does not carry the
same weight as a full audit.
·
The members of the Society instruct the
Society Board to identify a suitably qualified practitioner to undertake the
review.
·
The Society Board shall agree the appointment
of the independent examiner and shall agree the terms of that appointment in
writing.
·
Supporters Direct has no liability in respect
of any accounts of the Society.
·
Supporters Direct will use the report of an
independent examiner when considering the Society's eligibility for membership
of Supporters Direct as against the criteria in its membership policy.
8 To
transact any other business which may be properly carried out at the meeting.

NOTES
1.
A member of the Society is entitled to
appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his behalf at the Annual General
Meeting. A proxy does not have to be a
Member of the Society. The appointment of a proxy must be done by a letter
addressed to the Chairman of the Society. The letter should clearly state the
name of the member and the name of the proxy. The letter should be handed to
the Chairman of the Society before the start of the Meeting. No person other
than the Chairman can act as a proxy for more than three members. If there is
any question about the validity of a proxy then this shall be determined by the
Chairman of the Meeting whose decision is final.
2. If there are any questions you would
