Who is responsible for approving the annual budget in the Sub Deb Club?

• A. The Treasurer alone.
• B. The Club's governing body (e.g., Executive Committee/Board) approves it, usually by vote.
• C. General members by simple majority vote.
• D. The President alone.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that budgeting is a governance responsibility that requires oversight. The Treasurer typically prepares the budget and provides the financial details, but final approval should come from the club’s governing body (the Executive Committee or Board). This body has fiduciary responsibility to review, ask questions, adjust as needed, and formally approve the plan, usually by a vote, with the outcome recorded in the minutes. Relying on the President or the Treasurer alone would concentrate control and bypass necessary checks, while having general members approve by simple majority is not the standard practice for the annual operating budget—though members may receive information or weigh in on larger or unusual expenditures in some organizations.
