What is the Redwood Model?

The Redwood Model allows you to have CWEA staff prepare your sections financial reports on a monthly basis. All you have do is:

  • Send clear copy of Bank Statement for corresponding month, all pages front and back
  • Clear copy of all cancelled checks included in bank statement.
  • Clear copy of bank deposit slip.
  • Copy of check register (preferably excel spreadsheet)
    • Show check date, number, payee, amount, line item expense account number
    • Show deposit date, amount, and line item income account number.
  • Note any voided or cancelled checks with brief explanation
  • Include all bills, invoices, and receipts.

Treasurers are still responsible for situational reporting as needed.
