I’ve put together this finance update for SEAN (the NSW student enviro network) to cover the first half of this year. If you have any questions, please email me.

Our opening balance was $4161.08. Our current balance is $4129.64. This means so far we’re down $31.44. We also have some expected income/expenditure which might change this.

This isn’t the whole story, because there are some sources of income and expenditure we’re expecting: at least $2000 in registration and transport payments, plus between $0 and $3900 in donations from collectives. Also, we spent slightly more than we budgeted on food ($312 instead of $300), and more on petrol than we expected ($1200 instead of $1000). We also hadn’t budgeted to pay for the bus driver’s rego, which we did pay ($120). Updates will be posted as SEAN meetings confirm whether we are indeed receiving/spending this money.
