YAG Finances
The Young Adults have 2 related accounts in the church recordkeeping system
"Budget" Account
- This is a budget line item, not an account. It is provided to us by the church budgetary process. It is an amount we can spend every year. If we don't spend it, it goes back to the church (as a positive budget variance) and we lose it. The fiscal year ends on June 30.
- To spend money out of this account, enter the account code and enter the amount on the "20xx-20xx budget" line that appears in the lower right hand corner of the voucher below.
- It is for regular monthly overhead expenses paid by the church on our behalf (printing up our calendar/brochure, child care) and other expenditures we decide to make.
"Quarterly" Account
- This is an account, not an annual budget amount. It is money we collect and deposit with the church. We keep the balance even after the fiscal years roll over.
- Most of this money traditionally comes from retreats; when there is a surplus of funds collected over retreat expenses, the money goes into this account.
- To spend money out of this account, enter the account code and enter the amount on the "quarterly account" line that appears in the lower right hand corner of the voucher below.
Reimbursement
Reimbursement occurs by providing keyholders with:
- First Parish reimbursement voucher (word, HTML)
- Receipt or some other backup
The keyholders than drop it in the administrator's mailbox.
The church office mails checks directly to the payee.
