Dear R. Hunter,

All across America, charter school staffers and board members are staring at spreadsheets deep into the night to hammer out budgets for 2013/14. Thankfully, a majority of those budgets will prove to be thorough, well thought-out and accurate documents reflecting the best principles of public accounting.

But what if yours doesn\u2019t? Would you know? Do the members of your finance committee have things under control? Do you even HAVE a finance committee?

As board members, it\u2019s not up to you to manage the day-to-day finances, but it IS your job to conduct effective fiscal oversight, and to ensure the long-term financial viability of the organization.

But don\u2019t worry; we\u2019re here to help.


Starting with a free download <http://pages.reachthehighbar.com/rs/thehighbar/images/FinancialRolesandResponsibilities.pdf> <http://pages.reachthehighbar.com/rs/thehighbar/images/FinancialRolesandResponsibilities.pdf> of a checklist we\u2019ve created with our colleagues at Charter School Business Management. It methodically charts out the overarching financial responsibilities of your school, plus the specific accounting, review, approval and communication tasks of:


- The full Board of Trustees
- The Finance Committee
- The school\u2019s leadership team
- The school\u2019s business manager
