VPRS 18820 Finance Committee Minutes

This series comprises the minutes of the Finance Committee of the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (VA 1254). From 1915, the Finance Committee met monthly and by the 1970s bi-monthly. The earliest minutes cover subjects including: the honorary treasurer's report, approval of accounts for payment, and subscriptions. The later minutes are concerned with matters such as capital funds, bequests and donations, insurance premiums, and other financial matters of the hospital.  The earliest extant minutes are from 1915; however the minutes of the General Committee record that the Finance Committee was appointed at the meeting held on 18 October 1897. There is a gap in the extant minutes between 1923 and 1928. After a report and recommendation from the Sub-Committee on Governance (VPRS 18823), in 1974 the Finance Committee was abolished and its functions were absorbed by the Executive Committee. However, in 1978 it was re-constituted, and its new Terms of Reference were recorded in the minutes of the Meeting held on 21 July 1978.

本系列档案涵盖维多利亚女王纪念医院财务委员会（VA 1254）的会议纪要。自1915年起，该财务委员会每月召开一次会议，至20世纪70年代调整为每两月一次。现存最早的会议纪要涉及议题包括：名誉司库工作报告、付款账目审批以及订阅缴款相关事项；后期会议纪要则聚焦于医院资本基金、遗赠与捐赠、保险保费及其他各类财务事务。目前可查的最早会议纪要可追溯至1915年，但总务委员会的会议纪要显示，财务委员会早在1897年10月18日的会议上即已正式设立。1923年至1928年间的现存会议纪要存在缺失。在治理小组委员会（VPRS 18823）提交专项报告并提出相关建议后，财务委员会于1974年被撤销，其全部职能由执行委员会承接。但该委员会于1978年重新组建，其全新的职权范围被正式记录于1978年7月21日的会议纪要中。
