The Business Control Committee (BCC) has started its work, holding a meeting with the TYPO3 Association Chairman Jürgen Egeling on Friday, 1st of July 2011, in Karlsruhe.
Members of the BCC met to discuss the further steps on how to proceed with their work. They already had a first look in the TYPO3 Association accounting books, and formulated questions to understand the underlying accounts schema and booking methods. Further, they chose a list of receipts to be controlled and agreed on checking agreements and processes in the different parts of the TYPO3 Association's annual budget for 2011.
On the upcoming agenda of the BCC are the following items:
- Controlling the budgets and their usage by the budget-owners
- Regular Online Meetings to coordinate the different issues arising
- Consulting of the budget-owners about the upcoming budget year
- Creating transparency and improving communication to TYPO3 Association members
- Enhance the quality of the budget usage
- Initialize new and desired budget
- Reduce costs by finding ineffective processes or suppliers
- Create and issue a Rules of Procedure for their work within the TYPO3 Association bylaws
- Control the agreements issued and accepted by the TYPO3 Association leading to spending and acquiring funds
- Install a reports systems to be able to forecast budgetary needs or actions
- Support the transition of the TYPO3 Association towards greater budgetary funds by endorsing the governance within the different bodies.
- Issue a quarterly report to the TYPO3 Association members, administrative and executive boards
- Report to the TYPO3 Association's general assembly
- Regular physical and online meetings with members of the TYPO3 Association and the TYPO3 Community
