The Pale – January letter from the Exchequer

Greetings, all,

Domesday season is upon us. Here are some tips based on what was found during last year’s Domesday.

You should be submitting a copy of your ledger or check register. Having this helps the Regionals figure out any discrepancies that might arise. What is reported as event income on the Domesday should match what was reported on the actual event report:

  • Events that are donation-only go on page 11c.
  • Money made at an event as fundraising goes on page 11a.
  • Money donated to group at an event goes on page 11c.
  • SCARS/Paypal payments and expenses are shown on page 11b in the Paypal/SCARS section.
  • Money sent to Kingdom is a transfer out page 10 top section.
  • Money sent to SCA Inc for insurance is a transfer out on page 10 section A, Corporate.
  • If you’re in Michigan or Illinois, then transfers to SCA Inc, Middle Kingdom, go on page 12b section 29. It is NOT a transfer in Kingdom.
  • If you’re in Michigan or Illinois, then event insurance payments to SCA Inc go on page 12a as fees and honoraria.

When you have your report finished, you should send both the Excel report and PDFs of the pages that need to be signed (in BLACK ink) to your Regional. You should also be sending your ledger/ check register as mentioned above, all your bank statements for the year, and all your event reports for the year.

May your books always be in balance,

Aidan Blackstone
