Reports - Auditing Committee

March 24, 2006

The NCB-ESA Audit Committee reviewed the financial records of the North Central Branch of the Entomological Society of America for the calendar year 2005. The committee found that the report by Ric Bessin, Secretary/Treasurer for the NCB was complete, accurate, and well organized. The committee commends Secretary/Treasurer Ric Bessin for his diligence and attention to detail. The committee noted that several NCB officers did not use their budgeted travel funds, which was a significant benefit to the Branch. The committee was pleased to see an increase in the NCB's reserve funds. One committee member noted that the final billing statement from the Purdue University Conference Division showed $10, 294.19 transferred to the NCB as an expense. This was likely due to how the Conference Division accounted for revenues and expenses. The actual total expenses for the NCB meeting in 2005 at Purdue University were $28, 579.44.
