Cooperatives and governance
A well-run cooperative has clear rules, records and oversight. These prompts help members ask questions and follow their money.
- 01
Record the purpose and rules
Record the purpose, each contribution, decision-making and exit rules. Give every member a copy of the rules.
- 02
Separate responsibilities
Name signatories, cash handlers and record reviewers. Avoid giving one person every role without review.
- 03
Reconcile money and records
Compare contributions, cash, receipts and account statements. Explain differences to the group and correct errors early.
- 04
Ask the SACCO about group services
Ask about group-account documents, signatories, charges and member access to records. Understand the terms before changing how group money is handled.
