An auditor's advice on receipts, approvals and getting ready for your Form 990
Knowing the rules is the easy part. Proving you followed them is where it gets hard.
Proof that you followed your own rules means showing who approved a cost and which fund it came out of. Reconstructing that eight months later, from memory and an inbox, is the part nobody budgets time for. There's still about a quarter of the fiscal year left, which is enough time to change how this works. That's what the session is for.
