New Troop Fiscal Policies

Posted on Feb 1 2010 - 1:22pm

At the January Troop Committee eetign two neew polices regarding financial practices were adopted. They are as follows:

1. Effective March 1 reimbursement requests will only be honored if received within 60 days 
of incurring the expense.  When submissions are submitted belatedly they can create difficulties for our budgeting and accounting.  After March 1 any requests that are beyond the 60-day limit will require a justification that will be reviewed by the Troop Committee.
