<br>
Thanks for your reply.<br>
<br>
I am not so sure if we can provide access from South-Africa. I don't<br>
know what regulations our bank has regarding access from Non-European<br>
countries. I would have to investigate.<br>
<br>
It would be definitely easier if a European volunteer would do the<br>
accounting and payments.<br>
<br>
I can volunteer to be a controller/auditor once a year, since I have<br>
access to the account anyway.<br>
