A change we need to consider re-wording in the Bylaws is the requirement for an "audit" of the treasurer's records. Per right now, "audit" is the whole nine yards, requiring bringing in every receipt and bank statement and having a CPA pore over it—very expensive, and more involved than an annual review of the records that could be done by a bookkeeper or CPA.

Proposed change:

ATAA financial records shall be performed by a professional bookkeeper or accountant, not otherwise affiliated with the ATAA  at the end of every year.

This will be one of the issues members will get to vote on at the October conference in WA state.  
The reason for the proposed change is :
For the records of 2011 the ATAA had to pay $600 to have the book audited in the way currently described in the bylaws. The ATAA accounting is in Quicken, and a year end report is easy to print and cheaper to have audited.
