COUNCIL STATEMENT
Complete information on the council’s account with the
Supreme Council is contained in the statement that is sent
during the first half of each month to the financial secretary
of every council. The grand knight should examine this
statement every month and should arrange with the financial
secretary to make it available to him for this purpose.
The statement will display at a glance whether the council
is meeting its obligations to the Supreme Council or exposing
itself to the risk of suspension for nonpayment of them.
Each month the grand knight receives his own membership
and financial statement (see at right). On it is shown the
progress the council is making in its membership/insurance
program. The financial statement section indicates the
council’s financial standing in relation to the Supreme
Council. On the bottom are instructions for reading the
information provided. This financial statement is merely a
condensed version of the monthly statement received by
the financial secretary. It is intended to keep the grand
knight advised in the event the financial secretary fails to
make the regular monthly statement available.
