This time of year, many P&C Associations will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM). The reasons for holding an AGM include tabling audit and other reports, holding elections, and renewing membership.
Each P&C Association is required by its Constitution to hold an AGM. The details of your AGM, such as the time and date and appointed Auditor, can be found in your P&C Association’s by-laws.

The list below includes some important items that need to be prepared when planning your AGM.
- Audit report prepared by an auditor
