Senatus consultum on the appointment of a CFO
Appointment of a CFO
“1. By this senatus consultum, the Senate hereby defines the position of Chief
Financial Officer (herein designated as "CFO"). An individual shall be
appointed to the position of CFO by senatus consultum, passing by no less than a
two-thirds majority vote, for a term specified by the same, but in no case
longer than thirty-six months.
2. An individual appointed to, and accepting of, the position of CFO,
shall be given access to all financial data and accounts, including
but not limited to the deposit, credit, and brokerage accounts of the
corporation and its associated entities, and all access methods
thereto, as well as the surface mail directed to Nova Roma, Inc.
3. The CFO shall report directly to the co-presidents of Nova Roma, or in their
absence, the co-vice presidents, and through them, to the Board of Directors.
4. The CFO shall have the ability to appoint and dismiss assistants as it sees
fit, not to exceed four individuals, who shall be treated as under direct
appointment by the Board of Directors. For their
service, these individuals shall receive an amount of century points
equal to those of regularly appointed scribae.
5. An incoming CFO shall be appointed to a term so as to overlap that of an
outgoing CFO by three months, during which time the incoming CFO
shall co-operate with the outgoing CFO to ensure smooth transition of
necessary access to records and operations as outlined elsewhere in
this and relevant consulta. An incoming CFO, during this three-month
period, shall also assess the financial status and performance of the
corporation and report the same to the Board of Directors, and
complete and analysis of the financial results of the corporation and
develop recommendations for future measures.
6. An individual accepting appointment to the position of CFO may hold no other
position within Nova Roma, as defined and allowed for by Section II.B. of the
Lex Vedia Centuriata (or any such legislation as replaces the same), excepting a
seat as Senator. Standing for office by a sitting CFO shall be understood as
the announcement of resignation, to be effective on the starting date of the
position for which the individual is standing. Such a resignation will still be
effective even if the individual does not come to hold the office.
7. In the event of a vacancy in the position of CFO, the consuls shall
have the authority to appoint, from the appointed assistants to the
previous CFO, a CFO "pro tempore", for a term to last no longer than
six months from the date of appointment. By the end of that time, the
Board of Directors must appoint a new CFO, to serve the remainder of
the previous incomplete term, or if less than six months remain of
that term, to start a new term.
8. The CFO shall have overall responsibility for the financial data of
Nova Roma and its associated entities, and shall oversee all financial
operations of the organisation, including, butn not limited to: those
undertaken by those individuals elected by the comitia, those
undertaken by the provinciae and their subsidiaries, those undertaken
by the sodalitates, and those undertaken by the sacerdotes publici as
appointed by the Senate, Collegium Pontificum, or other body so
empowered.
9. The CFO shall be responsible for the development and recommendation of
financial protocols to ensure proper compliance with laws and regulations, both
inside and outside Nova Roma, shall be responsible for the monitoring of
internal financial controls and procedures, and shall produce financial reports
to be provided to the Board of Directors at such frequency as required by Nova
Roman law.
10. The CFO shall maintain financial oversight of all accounting
practises, budget and cash management, oversight of debt financing,
and shall undertake those administrative tasks related to maintaining
the financial welfare of the corporation.
11. The CFO shall also oversee budgetary planning, make recommendations for
budgetary measures, represent the organization to the financial community, work
with the officers and other elected and appointed individuals to ensure
operational success and compliance, minimize potential risks to the
organization, and oversee business insurance
plans.
12. The Senate of Nova hereby appoints Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix as CFO of
Nova Roma, Inc.”
