Notice of General Meeting/Change of Auditor

A General Meeting of the Society will be held at 7.30pm, Tuesday 6 May 2025 at Level 1, 28 Fortescue Street, Spring Hill 4000 and at the same time via teleconferencing, using Zoom. To register for the General Meeting, please go to the online registration for the May lecture, or phone the Society. The business of the meeting is to consider the resolution to change auditors. Voting will be by show of hands, and using the chat on Zoom. The proposed resolution is:

that Pilot Partners Pty Ltd be removed as auditor of The Royal Geographical Society of Queensland Ltd and that Independent Audit Services Pty Ltd be appointed as the Society’s auditor

Council recommends that the Society change to a less expensive auditor. The Finance Committee received three quotes and carried out interviews. Council accepted the Committee’s recommendation that we put to members that the Society’s audit be carried out by Independent Audit Services. Changing auditors needs a resolution to be passed at a General Meeting of members. The meeting will be held immediately prior to the May lecture commencing . Depending on questions from members, we are expecting the General Meeting to be very short.
