We recently voted on our budget for this year but I am concerned about a few items - When comparing last year's budget to this year's, they did not list everything that was done last year, stating that they did not plan to do it again this year. Consequently, although we raised over $16,000 in fundraisers, they only recorded $10,000 raised last year. I feel this is misleading and if they do not plan to continue an activity this year, it should still be listed and just put a 0 in the line item for this year. Any accountants out there?
Also, even though the budget passed, could these concerns still be brought up at a later meeting for possible revision?

Your budget for this year should include a line item for any amount carried over from the previous year and then should only contain the events and programs that you are going to do this year with their corresponding expected expenses/income. Including events/programs that your group is not going to be doing this year would be irrelevant to the budget and perhaps confusing to some.

If it turns out that your group decides to resurrect one of those discontinued events/programs, then the group would need to vote on having that program again and any related funding needed to run it.

As for your comment about the group only showing $10,000 of the $16,000 raised last year: do you mean that they have left out money that they raised and are not showing it as income for last year's reported financials? That would be improper. Last year's financial report should show all monies raised, all expenses, and any balance that is being carried over into the next year.

I tried replying before but not sure if it worked, I do apologize if this is a repeat.
Yes, they did not show all the money that was raised (or all the expenses) from last year's budget. The balance they reported was correct, however, but they are not giving an accurate accounting of what really happened last year. It is an entirely new exec board but they were given all of the information from last year, they just chose not to show it in this budget.
I brought this up at the meeting before we voted on the budget but they said they chose not to include money raised or spent on items they are not doing this year. I don't feel this is correct but I don't know if they are allowed to do that or what can be done to fix it.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right to me. I'm not going into all the legal stuff because I don't really understand all the legal points to this but I can assure you that all money needs to be accounted for. What they are doing doesn't seem right. The NEW projected budget wouldn't include items they don't plan on doing, that of course makes perfect sense. But last years budget should be as it was not a made up version to just slap on paper. Why wasn't a final budget done at the end of last school year done anyways? My understanding is this should have already been done. Do you do audits on your books? If and when you do these false reports are going to come back to bite the PTO in the butt, I would think.

There was a final budget/audit done at the end of last year. This meeting was attended by the principal and the old and new treasurer and president. ALL of the info was handed over. Then the new exec board made their budget for this year and chose to do it their own way.
Can I make some kind of motion to redo the budget?

Ok, I'm confused. The budget that's in question, is this the new proposed budget, the old budget from last year or did the new board redo the old budget? If the budget from last year has already been voted on they can't change it. So are you saying that when they did their proposed budget for this school year they left out stuff that was done last year? If they aren't planning on raising or spending money on those activities they shouldn't be included in this years budget.
