Read the minutes carefully and make sure all important decisions and actions to be taken are included in the minutes. The minutes should be written using simple language in the past tense. Matters pertaining to different points on the agenda should be listed under separate headings.
Have the minutes sent to all the trustees and formal persons such as statutory auditors or the evaluator or auditor appointed by a donor or government who substantially contribute to the organisation.
Make sure the minutes are read and confirmed at the start of the subsequent meeting. Once confirmed, it is signed by the chairperson. After that, it cannot be altered and becomes a legally valid document enforceable in the court of law.
