The Audit Committee has reviewed the financial records of the North Central Branch (NCB) of the Entomological Society of America for the calendar year 2007. The committee found that the report by Ric Bessin, Secretary/Treasurer for the NCB was complete, accurate, and well organized. The committee commends Secretary/Treasurer Ric Bessin for his thoroughness and attention to detail in putting together the report, and also wish to thank him for his service to the NCB during his term in office.

The committee also noted that NCB officers and some committee chairs did not expend all of their allocated travel or other support budgeted for them, which helped to keep NCB Branch expenses at a minimum. We would like to acknowledge these individuals for their “in-kind” contributions to the Society. The committee was pleased to see our branch remain in solid financial standing, with an actual increase in the reserve funds during the past calendar year.

The NCB-ESA Audit Committee reviewed the financial records of the North Central Branch of the Entomological Society of America for the calendar year 2005. The committee found that the report by Ric Bessin, Secretary/Treasurer for the NCB was complete, accurate, and well organized. The committee commends Secretary/Treasurer Ric Bessin for his diligence and attention to detail. The committee noted that several NCB officers did not use their budgeted travel funds, which was a significant benefit to the Branch. The committee was pleased to see an increase in the NCB's reserve funds. One committee member noted that the final billing statement from the Purdue University Conference Division showed $10, 294.19 transferred to the NCB as an expense. This was likely due to how the Conference Division accounted for revenues and expenses. The actual total expenses for the NCB meeting in 2005 at Purdue University were $28, 579.44.
