IEEE Central Texas Section THANK YOU

IEEE Central Texas Section BACKUP

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Travel 6 September 2014 Last amendment 6 September Program Overview. The CTS travel program serves two purposes Leadership development of Chapter Chairmen and representation of CTS at higher level planning meetings such as those developing MGA, TAB, and Region 5 policy and procedures. 2. Travel Funds Management. Funds to support travel come from conference and workshop surpluses and Section reserves. To conserve and provide more equitable distribution of available funds, they are organized into two pools, one for Chapter leadership development called the Chapter Travel Pool and the other for CTS representation called the Section Travel Pool. The ExComm approves the overall budget for each pool at the Spring Section Meeting based on the previous years’ travel, any special needs, and the overall availability of funds for the year. Individual trips are not approved in the financial plan; the Section Chairman approves them during the year based on ExComm member requests as the need is recognized and travel details become available.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Travel 6 September 2014 Last amendment 6 September Chapter Leadership Development Travel. Chapter and Affinity Group Chairmen may request one leadership development trip per year for the chairman, chairman elect, or other ChapComm member expected to be chairman in the future. Travel is expected to be to their Society general meeting or their Societies training event. Developmental travel is normally limited to IEEE regions 1-6 (Continental United States). Approvals normally include a reimbursement maximum (typically $1300 in 2014). A short trip report should be submitted to the Chairman, Treasurer and newsletter editor upon completion of travel. 4. Section Representation Travel. The CTS Chairman normally receives requests for CTS representation at higher level planning meetings and decides what representation CTS will provide and who will provide it. The representative prepares the travel request and the Chairman approves it. Approvals normally include a reimbursement maximum. Representation travel is usually partially or fully funded by the requesting organization.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Travel 6 September 2014 Last amendment 6 September Travel Requests. ExComm members may request travel by addressed to the Section Treasurer with the following information: a. Purpose of trip—leadership development, CTS representation, etc. b. Dates of travel c. Destination—event, city, state d. Cost estimate—registration, travel, hotel, meals, parking, local miles, etc. e. Travel carrier—Delta, Amtrak, POV, etc. f. Funding support organization and amount–Society, CTS, corporate, personal, other. g. Comments. It is strongly suggested that requesters submit their request for travel approval and make travel arrangements 60 and 90 days prior to the dates of travel in order to get good travel rates. IEEE requires the lowest cost carrier be used and will reimburse non-refundable tickets if an emergency prohibits their use. Based on past approvals, travel co-sponsored by societies and other sources is more likely to be approved than travel completely supported by CTS.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Travel 6 September 2014 Last amendment 6 September Reimbursement. Travelers should first claim reimbursement from their other travel sponsors prior to requesting reimbursement from CTS using the procedures provided by them. Then travelers may request reimbursement for the remaining costs from CTS following the CTS Revenue and Expense Reporting Procedures. A copy of the travel approval and trip report should accompany the CTS travel expense report.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 The July 2012 version of this document replaced previous CTS Expense Reimbursement Policy to provide members with Revenue and Expense Reporting Procedures to meet the requirements of IEEE. It was approved by the CTS Chapter Committee on 13 July and modified by T. Scott Atkinson, Vice Chair, MGA, IEEE on 29 August 2012 as a suggested new version which was approved by the CTS ExComm on 8 September This amendment reformats the September 2012 version as a standing rule and updates the content as indicated. This document provides the following: l Background explaining why detailed financial reporting and records are important l A summary of IEEE policy relevant to financial reporting (CTS has no additional policy) l A CTS form for use in reporting expenses l Instructions for completing the CTS/IEEE forms

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September Background and overview.. Background and overview. Since the attack of 9/11, IRS rules have become stricter. The consequence has been a push from IEEE central accounting for more detailed and complete of documentation of financial transactions throughout IEEE. Financial managers in IEEE are enforcing this more closely through random audits, online reporting to IEEE (the infamous L50 report), random audits of geo units that have bank accounts, and ultimately central financial management through a single online accounting system (NetSuite). a. Expenses. Under recent law, stricter audit rules have been set in place to monitor the use of payments to corporations to ensure that the funds are managed prudently and used for legal purposes. Correspondingly, IRS has tightened the reporting requirements for payments to individuals requiring us to report to IEEE any payment to an individual (except for adequately supported reimbursements).

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 The information is the same as that required for direct payments. Adequate support requires records that show: (1) Who was paid (restaurant, airline, hotel) (2) Where they were paid (city, state, country) (3) When they were paid (date and time). (4) What amount they were paid (5) Why they were paid. b. Revenue. Accounting for cash revenue has also come under increased scrutiny because of the high risk of money laundering, disappearance of funds, and potential for use of funds for political influence.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 In consequence, CTS must have on file receipts (or acknowledgements) for all funds received and have recordsthat show: (1) Who paid us (individual, corporation) (2) Where we were paid (city, state, country) (3) When we were paid (date and time). (4) What amount we were paid (5) Why we were paid. c. CTS Procedures and Forms. (1) CTS Expenses. CTS uses the Expense Report and Payment Request Form and the supporting receipts as records of the transactions that are reimbursed or paid directly from or to CTS. Copies of the receipts from or to venders or individuals provide adequate records for items shown in paragraph 1 a.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 (2) CTS Revenues. CTS uses no specific form for revenue. The Treasurer gathers the supporting information described in paragraph 1b to document these transactions. (3) Other Forms. The Expense Report forms and receipts provides the records for associated expense transactions within CTS. Other forms may be used, such as the IEEE Expense Report form (available on the IEEE Web site) for travel outside of the local CTS area and Excel spreadsheets for reporting details on workshops and other events, as long as the required information is provided. 2. Summary of Relevant IEEE Policies. All CTS financial transactions are subject to the policy and procedures IEEE. The CTS Treasurer can help you in researching these documents for particular questions dealing with financial reporting.

IEEE Financial Operations Manual e. IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Operations Manual f. IEEE Region 5 bylaws, policies, and procedures g. IEEE Society guidelines and procedures h. Previously approved CTS policy (being replaced with this document) 3. CTS Procedures. Some important things from these documents that apply to CTS include:

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 a. Section Officers, Section Committee Chairs and Section appointed Special Project Managers and chapter Chairs: When a member of the Central Texas Section who holds an official position of leadership or a CTS Chapter or Affinity Group Chairman or an individual designated by the Chairman is involved in activities directly associated with their leadership position, then the Section or Chapter individuals authorized may reimburse reasonable expenses in support of their IEEE CTS activities. b. Section officers, Section Committee Chairs and Section appointed Special Project Managers and Chapter Chairs may be reimbursed for local auto mileage (travel within the CTS area). Reimbursement will be limited to a rate of $0.20 per mile plus tolls and parking. Any travel amount in excess of 125 miles for any one leg of travel must have supporting documentation, such as Google mileage or MapQuest supporting documentation. Remember that any amount requested for reimbursement must have a receipt for an amount equal to or over $25.00.

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 c. Reimbursements are not approved that include the costs of attending one's own chapter meetings or attending the Section or another chapter's meeting for the purpose of the individual's personal educational interest in the subject matter of that meeting. d. All requests for reimbursements must provide complete and legible receipts for all reimbursements over $25 (recommended for all expenses when a receipt is available). e. Provide invoices, statements, or other documentation must be provided to support direct payments. f. Be sure expenses are reasonable (perception is important particularly for travel) g. Avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest whenever possible, and disclose them to affected parties when they do exist. h. Provide receipts and/or acknowledgements to all when receiving funds payable to CTS/IEEE. i

IEEE Central Texas Section IEEE Central Texas Section Standing Rule Expense Reporting 8 September 2012 Last amendment 6 September 2014 i. Be sure to include the value of any amount of goods or services donated to CTS/IEEE (required as IEEE is an 501(c)(3). j. Use standard IEEE contracts and IRS Forms 1099 and W-9 to document payments to individuals for services as these reports must be submitted to Hq IEEE. Remember, The Section Chairman must approve any legal contract or document that obligates the CTS/IEEE; this is critical for all such transactions that include payments before commitments are made and paid. k. Remember: Payments to IEEE volunteers for services is not authorized under normal circumstances. Requests for any exception must be approved before any commitments for payments are made. l. Also do not accept IRS Forms 1099 for payments to IEEE. They are not required.
