Article 34 - Liquidation Procedures
When the decision to terminate is made by the general assembly, the money, property and rights of the association are liquidated by the liquidation board consisting of the last board members. These procedures start from the date when the general assembly decision regarding termination is taken or the automatic termination becomes final. The phrase "In Liquidation" is used in front of the name of the association in all transactions during the liquidation period.
The liquidation board is responsible and authorized to complete the liquidation of the association's money, property and rights from beginning to end in accordance with the legislation.
This board first examines the accounts of the association. During the examination, the books, receipts, expenditure documents, title deed, bank records and other documents belonging to the association are determined and its assets and liabilities are recorded in a report. During the liquidation process, a call is made to the creditors of the association and their assets, if any, are converted into cash and paid to the creditors. If the association is a creditor, the receivables are collected. All money, property and rights remaining after the collection of receivables and payment of debts are transferred to the place determined at the general assembly. If the place to be transferred is not determined at the general assembly, it is transferred to the association that is closest to its purpose in the province where the association is located and has the highest number of members on the date of termination.
All transactions related to liquidation are shown in the liquidation report and the liquidation procedures are completed within three months, excluding additional periods given by the local administrative authorities based on a justified reason.
Following the completion of the liquidation and transfer of the money, property and rights of the association, the liquidation board must notify the local administrative authority of the location where the headquarters of the association is located in a letter within seven days, and the liquidation report must be attached to this letter.
The last members of the board of directors are responsible for keeping the books and documents of the association as the liquidation board. This duty can be conferred to a board of member too. These books and records must be kept for five years.
