IJA GENERAL MEETING 2023

The IJA has received a proposal to amend the Paragraph 9 (Accounts) of the IJA Constitution regarding the wording and terms used in it. Proposed amendment:

‘The accounting year end shall be 31 December. The audit exempt accounts (Financial Statements) of the Association shall be prepared annually in accordance with relevant financial reporting framework in Ireland by an external accountancy firm, who is not a member of the Association and shall be submitted to the Members for approval at the General Meeting.  In any given year, audited accounts can be prepared instead of the audit exempt accounts (Financial Statements), provided the decision to do this is made by a majority approval of the Council.  The Association shall not be responsible for expenditure incurred in its name by unauthorised persons.’

As per Paragraph 13 of the IJA Constitution, A General Meeting of the Association, other than an Annual General Meeting, may be convened by giving to the members fourteen days notice of such meeting and specifying the purpose, time and venue during which a resolution will be put to the vote.

The IJA proposes that the IJA General Meeting takes place on Thursday, 23rd March 2023 at 2.30 p.m. – before the start of the IJA AGM 2023. The AGM will start immediately after the General Meeting concludes.
