I'd like to announce two new finance documents, now on the WMUK wiki:

* Finance Action Plan 2012/13 http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Finance Action Plan 2012/13. This is our planned timetable for introducing improvements to our financial controls and procedures in the light of the reports produced this Autumn by UHY, our auditors, and http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Governance/2012 Financial review by Garfield Byrd, WMF CFO the one by Garfield Byrd, WMF CFO. Please comment on the talk page.

* Finance Policy revision 2012 http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Finance Policy revision 2012. This is the outcome of a scheduled review (the first we've done) of our Finance Policy at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Finance Policy . The Board has discussed and refined the proposed changes, which are now open for community comment at the talk page http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Finance Policy revision 2012 . And there are a couple of bits not yet worded up - help welcome!

Thanks to Jon, Richard & the board for their help, As Treasurer, John Byrne
