Managing Finances and Board Responsibilities

Is your condo board lucky enough to have an Accountant among its members? Probably not. Although your property manager may do most of the heavy lifting, the Board of Directors are 100% responsible for the budget, the document that defines your corporation’s fees. Creating and reviewing the budget each year helps boards understand where the money goes and ensures there are enough funds available to cover upcoming costs.
