==Concluding remarks==
Since being in the role of Treasurer, fixing the issues with Bendigo Bank has been on going for sometime but has finally been dealt with but PayPal has become a new issue, fake donations have been made (likely to test stolen credit card information) during the past few months which has created more workload in dealing with it and this has resulted in WMAU taking the action of ceasing the use of PayPal for now with 2017-18 Committee to decide on the future use of PayPal.
