The introduction of the New Tax System in July 2000 prompted The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia to cooperate with the government’s GST Start-Up 
Assistance Office in the production of The Voluntary Treasurer’s Handbook. 
 
This publication is intended to help small non-profit organisations. While the financial resources and skills of personnel will vary enormously, some principles are fundamental to all. Many small organisations have few, if any, paid staff and rely on the work of volunteers. 
The handbook therefore has been written to help these small organisations and particularly the person carrying the financial responsibility.  
 
It attempts to cover, in broad terms, matters that honorary treasurers need to know about in order to keep their organisations on an even financial keel and out of trouble.
