It is helpful and inspiring to improve the participants’ work on volunteer organisations and better volunteer work. The meeting explained the duties and requirements of the presidents: every president who receives government funding must understand government policies and In the chapter, all government funds must be transferred for special purposes and reported in a timely manner. Volunteer groups must act in accordance with the rules,understand policies, and understand the law.

The accountant must make a clear account and keep all the receipts of the accounts. Each receipt must be signed by the president. All financial management procedures must be performed.

It is very timely, very important and very good! I hope that the next event will have a bigger harvest.
