The treasurer is the elected official in charge of handling all council funds.   He receives money from the financial secretary and issues a receipt for such.   He is also responsible for depositing all money in the proper council accounts and providing a voucher or certificate of deposit to the grand knight for each transaction. 

The treasurer is also responsible for issuing payments to the Supreme Council on all assessments made by it to the council and for all orders of the council. 

Finally, the treasurer is responsible for keeping accurate accounts of the monies in the general expense fund of the council and the amount of money in any special funds established by the council.   He must be able to provide up to-date records on these accounts to the grand knight, financial secretary or board of trustees. 

The Treasurer's jewel is Crossed Keys worn on a blue ribbon which are symbolic of The Treasurer's complete authority over funds, particularly responsibility for their safekeeping.   His robe is black, trimmed with black, and a white cincture with silver fringe.
