Parish Financial Services

Reimbursement

Fiscal year end is two months away; ask your staff/volunteers to submit reimbursement requests before then. All reimbursement requests must be submitted within three months of when the expense was incurred. A good practice is reminding your volunteers and teachers about reimbursement procedures before the school year begins. (See section XII.4 of the Parish Accounting Manual.)
