The purpose of this policy is to establish principles and protocols that govern how the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Local Architectural Societies (“Societies”) will address specific aspects of their financial resources.

The following provides a framework for budgeting, accounting, investing, and financial reporting to promote consistency and accountability in financial practices across the Societies. As constituent organizations of the Association, the Societies are provided with clear and consistent protocols and financial policies to ensure a healthy financial environment as well as mitigate exposure to financial and legal risks.
