IN GOVERNMENT The treasury of a country, such as the United States or the United Kingdom , is the department responsible for the country's Money . The treasurer is generally the person responsible for its upkeep, although, in some systems (such as the US or the UK) the treasurer reports to a Secretary Of The Treasury , or Chancellor Of The Exchequer . Originally the word referred to the person in charge of the Treasure of a Noble , however it has now moved into wider use. In the UK during the 17th Century , a position of Lord High Treasurer was used on several occasions as the third great officer of The Crown . Now the title First Lord Of The Treasury is the official title of the British Prime Minister . IN ORGANIZATIONS Many other organisations, particularly Not-for-profit organizations such as Charities , Unions , and Churches , appoint treasurers, who are responsible for generating income for the group, whether this be through pricing of a product, organising Sponsorship , or arranging fundraising events. The treasurer would also be part of the group which would oversee how the money is spent, either directly dictating expenditure or authorizing it as required. It is their responsibility to ensure that the organization has enough money to carry out their stated Aims And Objectives , and that they do not overspend. |
