# Organisational requirements

Your organisation should ask you to submit accounts on a regular, often monthly, basis. This is likely to be something in a cash and bank book format or a summary of receipts and payments against budget codes, or both.

These may seem unreasonable to you, but they will be under pressure from others, e.g. donors.

Even if they do not ask for regular accounts, it is worth preparing them as soon as possible. The sooner you complete your accounts in full, the sooner you will discover:

- ways to make life easier for yourself, e.g. how much is left to spend on budget items
- problems, e.g. lack of available cash, which if left for too long will only get much worse.
