Affiliates of the Saint Lucia Olympic Committee  Incorporated (SLOC Inc.), responded in encouraging numbers to participate in a training session initiated by the leadership of the organisation to bring affiliates up to date regarding requirements of funding agencies that fund its programmes.

” It  has been mandated by our funding agencies to account for funds disbursed in a specified manner,  so the (SLOC Inc) in turn  appreciates that members account for funds received in a like manner, ” said Secretary General Alfred Emmanuel.

Emmanuel conducted the session that gave those present an appreciation of the extent funding agencies verify the disbursement of allocations  they provide for programmes of National Olympic Committees. 

The gathering at the headquarters of the Saint Lucia Olympic Committee for the training sessions included  Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers. Participants worked with several documents including travel itineraries, receipts for  particular travel,  hotel reservation, four other receipts  or  invoices of their choice.

” The attendance of the three specified personnel was  required since they will now have to play a very important part in the accounting process, ” Emmanuel continued.

As part of the session, President of the SLOC Inc. Fortuna Belrose made a slide presentation on the objectives of the SLOC inc, its mandate and challenges.
