With the prior consent of the Council, any approved organisation may, in anticipation of its revenue, from time to time borrow money from its bankers by way of overdraft, or from any other person, for any purpose connected with the control, prevention, or eradication of hydatids.

Where money belonging to an approved organisation amounting to ten pounds or upwards comes into the hands of any person authorised to receive money on behalf of the organisation, that person shall within seven days after the money comes into his hands, or within such shorter period as the organisation from time to time directs, pay the same to the Treasurer of the organisation or to such other officer of the organisation as the organisation from time to time directs.

All money received by the Treasurer or other officer of an approved organisation under subsection (1) of this section shall forthwith be paid into the Hydatid Control Account established by the organisation under subsection (2) of section 27 of this Act.

No money shall be withdrawn from the bank except by authority of the approved organisation, and any cheque or other withdrawal notice shall be signed by the Treasurer or other officer of the organisation appointed for the purpose and countersigned either by a member or by an officer of the organization authorised by the organisation from time to time so to do.

Every approved organisation shall keep full and correct accounts of all money received and expended by it, and the accounts shall be audited by the Audit Office, which for that purpose shall have and may exercise all such powers as it has under the Public Revenues Act 1953 in respect of public money and the audit of local authorities’ accounts.

Every approved organisation shall, as soon as possible after the end of every financial year, cause the accounts of the organisation to be balanced and full and true statements and accounts of all the money received and expended by the organisation during that year, and of the assets and liabilities of the organisation at the end of that year, to be prepared and submitted to the Audit Office.”
