Form LM-2 (Labor Organization Annual Report) is an annual financial statement required of any Union or Labor Organization covered by the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), the Civil Service Retirement Act (CSRA), or the Foreign Service Act (FSA), with total annual receipts of $250,000 or more. This form will tell you when the next union election is, how many members the union has, the salaries of officers and staff, and other useful information, including:
- Whether the union has any subsidiary organizations
- Whether the union has a political action committee (PAC)
- Whether the union discovered any loss or shortage of funds
- Number of members
- Rates of dues and fees
- 7 asset categories such as cash and investments
- 4 liability categories such as accounts payable and mortgages payable
- 16 receipts categories such as dues and interest
- 18 disbursement categories such as payments to officers and repayment of loans obtained
- A schedule of payments to officers
- A schedule of payments to employees
- A schedule of office and administrative expenses
- A schedule of loans payable.
Generating these informative reports can be burdensome. First, you have to drop what you are doing, interrupting your daily accounting activity. Then you have to manually sift through an entire years worth of financial records and receipts to formulate a meaningful and accurate LM-2. If only there were a more efficient way to do this…
Actually, there is!
