Definition of powers and responsibilities
This term refers to the distribution of responsibilities between the general meeting and the committee as well as between the committee and the administrative office or commercial business. It is important to describe tasks and responsibilities as well as decision-making powers for the different functions within the committee, too. Such a description should specify activities and define the authorisation to spend funds up to a certain amount as well as the obligation to inform the committee (reporting). The definition of powers and responsibilities can be part of the regulations. The responsibility for the activities of individual functions always lies with the entire committee as well.
