Receipts and unspent funds
For every award, funding will be transferred to the support organisation's account to be controlled by the named support worker.
Recording expenditure
For auditing reasons all funds need to be accounted for by Crisis. Please send us legible copies of receipts for all courses paid for and all items purchased. We accept receipts or official confirmation from the vendor/training provider that fees have been paid. All other funds need to be returned to the Crisis Changing Lives team (cheques made payable to Crisis UK)
Consequences
If neither proof of purchase nor returned funds are received by Crisis within the six months allocated, this could result in further applications from local and nation-wide organisations being blocked in future rounds. After 12 months, all applications will be refused for the specified organisation until action is taken.
Precautions
There are ways of avoiding this however. Please ensure the following:
- Crisis is notified if you leave
- Funds are not given directly to the client
- Your manager is aware of your responsibilities
- Duplicates are made of all receipts for your records
- Copies of all receipts are kept in a safe place
- Receipts are sent to us immediately after purchase
- The Crisis Changing Lives team is aware of any delays or problems.
