Eastern Counties Rugby Union

In the autumn of last year the RFU introduced modifications to Regulation 5. The redrafted rules place an obligation on ECRU to “have in place a Financial Monitoring System” for clubs at Level 5 and below. The details of how this system should be implemented and operate have been left entirely at the discretion of individual Constituent Bodies.
The Management Committee of ECRU have been concerned to ensure that any monitoring system that it puts in place should not result in additional administrative workload for club treasurers and other volunteers. They have therefore agreed that at the present time all that is required of clubs and county bodies is that they continue to submit their annual accounts for the previous season, as presented to their members in general meeting, by 31st December each year.
David Robinson has kindly agreed to continue to be the co-ordinator of this process on behalf of the management committee, and thanks are due to him and to those clubs that have already provided copies of their accounts for their accounting year ended in 2021, or have indicated that they have been unable to meet this deadline for good reason.
The minority of clubs who have not yet submitted their accounts are requested to send them to David, preferably by email, by the end of January at the latest, or to advise him of their reasons for non-compliance and their plans to address this.
