Yukon 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 Yukon society’s directors present its financial statements — and the accountant’s report, if there is one — to the members at each annual general meeting. The statements carry what directors and the highest-paid were paid, and a society the regulations require to have an accountant has one: a Class A society, unless its bylaws allow a waiver its members pass. Binds: Yukon societies (Societies Act, SY 2018, c. 15).
