No NSS bank account can be opened without the approval of the NSS Secretary-Treasurer. A NSS bank account is a bank account that uses the NSS Federal Tax Identification Number (FIN) or contains NSS funds. Bank accounts containing NSS funds must use the NSS FIN.

The NSS President and NSS Secretary-Treasurer must be signatories on all NSS bank accounts. Other signatories (for example, a NCRC National Cave Rescue Seminar or NCRC regional treasurer) may be approved by the NSS Secretary-Treasurer.

Banks must be instructed to send the original of their periodic statements for NSS bank accounts to the NSS office (2813 Cave Avenue, Huntsville AL 35810-4431). The NSS office will quickly send copies of these statements to the person managing the account and others (independent account reconcilers, NCRC Financial Officer, NCRC Regional Coordinator, etc) designated by the NSS Secretary-Treasurer.

Persons managing NSS bank accounts must provide a periodic statement of account activity to the person designated by the NSS Secretary-Treasurer to independently reconcile the account. The independent reconciler will compare the activity indicated in the bank statement with that reported by the account manager. If the reconciler has questions the person managing the account should respond. The independent reconciler will report their findings to the NSS Secretary-Treasurer (inter alios).

Per NSS Secretary-Treasurer Paul Stevens, 8/99.

Note: The "independent reconciler" for NCRC accounts is currently Berta Kirchman, NCRC Financial Officer. She can be reached at:
