A Treasurer is someone who looks after the money in a club, company, organization, association, or government.
The Treasurer of a government manages the Annual Budget of a state or country. The Budget is used to give money to government departments and to pay for promises the government makes. The Treasurer is called the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the United Kingdom and the Treasury Secretary in the United States.
In A new way to pay the National Debt (1786), James Gillray caricatured Queen Charlotte and King George III awash with treasury funds to cover royal debts, with Pitt handing them another moneybag.
