Annual report:
  • It's being winged

  • Now people are getting paid to be here, so hopefully that will make it more stable
  • Reduced amount of ECTS
  • Refunding doctors notes
  • Record election
  • Info breakfasts
  • Strong foundation for organizations at ITU
  • New website that will support everything
  • In summary - a lot more organized, especially in the finance
Presentation of the budget:
  • Discussion with executive management 
  • 680.000kr was last year - probably the same
  • Treasurer position has been assigned to Viktor, but we are looking forward to having a dedicated treasurer.
  • Process for applying for SAF was pretty tedious, so now a lot of it is automated with virtual Pleo credit card
  • CorPay One - something something invoices...
  • It's easier now
  • Ensures that less mistakes will happen because it's less prone to human error
  • Most income is from ITU
  • 127.000 spent on salaries
  • 109.000 spent of food, drink and other stuff (personaleplejer), but these also account for other student organizations
  • doctor's notes refunded (50)
  • Pleo is the place to find out where the money was spent - Billy is for accounting
  • We are spending a lot on cloud software
  • Pleo has to be renegotiated
  • 3.000 in fees from Danske Bank
  • We have 758.000 - but it doesn't make sense, but we have 600.000 on out bank account
  • We hope to make a more formal introduction to our accounts as soon as we have a dedicated treasurer
