| NESFA Treasury Procedures – Table of Contents | Last updated before 7/2005 |
Essentially, an income report tells the Treasurer that someone with an advance account has received and kept money on behalf of NESFA.
The accounting for an income report is easy: Just credit the person's advance account and debit whatever account is receiving the income. (The process is a bit more complicated when you are entering book sales reported on an Income report.)
A frequently mis-understood point: An income report is only used when money owed to NESFA is kept by a member with an advance account. So there is no need for a check to be accompanied by an income report (just write that the payment is for on the front of the check.)
