45 th AGM MEETING TREASURER ‘S REPORT AND BUDGET ESTIMATES
Good afternoon my fellow co-operators,
Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure in welcoming you all to this 45th Annual General Meeting of Intercon Sacco.
As you all know; it is a requirement in our bylaws, I present to you, the treasurer report summarizing our financial performance for the year ending 2014 and also present to the members the revised budget for the year 2015 and for preceding year 2016 in line with our traditions. This gives us an fore sight of what to expect in 2015 & 2016 in line with the current trends and therefore inform members how much income we expect, expected expenses and how much surplus we expect to make.
We received a clean and unqualified opinion from the auditor Theuri & Ndegwa Associates, and, as per requirements, the accounts were approved by the Commissioner of Cooperatives as required by Sacco Act.
We recorded some very positive changes in 2014, I would like to point out some of key performance indicators in our financials as follows:-
2013 2014 Growth over Last Year Membership 304 360 Members Deposits 58,746,006 61,993,918 6% Loans Advances 40,435,012 44,853,197 11% Total Income 6,897,776 7,511,844 9% Expenditure 1,793,990 1,799,839 0% Net Surplus 5,103,786 5,712,005 12% Interest on members' Savings 6.5 % 8.00 %
As you can see we achieved double digits growth in loans advances and net surplus, this was through prudent management and we expect to improve the results this year 2015 and next year 2016.
Treasurer Proposal
Last but not least, I would like to make the following proposal. Last year we saw an increase of minimum balance from 2000/= to 3000/= , this in turn has l improved our cash flow for the year and subsequently improved loans disbursement and you seen from above we were able to increase advancement of loans by 11%. (4.4 m). In order for us to see further growth and maintain the momentum, I propose we increase the minimum balance by a modest figure of 500/= to a minimum of Kshs.3500/= per month. I also propose this increase of 500/= to be done 2Treasurer’s Report
every year. This will enable us advance 2 million shillings more in loans every year, and will help in easing the queues, and of course increase our dividends.
Budget Estimates
Finally , I would like to take you through the budgeted Income & expenditure statement estimates – for the year 2015 & 2016, you will notice 2015 is a revision of what had been presented during our last AGM (44th AGM).
