<h1>The Bank of Expo</h1>
<p>This is not really a bank.
<p>For instrucitons, see
<a href="bierbook.html">Bier and Sesh books</a>.
<p>It is an online system which does accounting. It keeps records of how expenses are allocated and who has paid what. You will be issued with an online username and password to access it when you pay your Expo deposit. Your transactions are not private: all transactions on all accounts are visible to any logged-on user.
<p><em>Please be respectful of this website as you'll find you can edit transactions that others have listed. This is to allow people to collaboratively add their combined expenses with all the complications that cavers bring to anything. However, it could be abused. Please don't. The admins can see records of who changed what and when. </em>
<p>BoC was originally designed for <b>caving club/meet use</b>, but is flexible enough for expo use, where expenses are distributed by number of nights/car-passengers/beers. Being online helps accounting transparency, allows real-time review of creditors/debtors, and, if input permissions are devolved, reduces the burden on the treasurer. Once everything is entered and correctly allocated the accounts should be done without further work. It correctly handles multiple currencies and exchange rates changing over time.
