Northwest Territories stands fully covered: its own filings and guidance stand in the books beside the federal ones.
The directors approve the statements, and the members see them at the annual meeting — including what directors were paid.
A Northwest Territories society holds an annual general meeting in the Northwest Territories, and presents at it an annual financial statement signed by its auditor, or by two directors where there is no auditor. Its bylaws provide for the audit of its accounts, and set the date its fiscal year ends — at least thirty days before the annual general meeting is called. Binds: Northwest Territories societies (Societies Act, R.S.N.W.T. 1988, c. S-11).
