Cohousing-L Mailing List: receipts for reimbursement

[fernselzer (fernselzer]

Hi all,I am wondering if your community uses digital receipts or does your 
finance committee have folders with paper receipts or little piles of receipts 
clipped or stapled together like my community does.  For example, recently 
receiving a digital receipt from a paid facilitator, I needed to print it out, 
sign it and get it to another member of my committee (facilitation) to sign it 
and then hand deliver it to a member of the finance committee before they would 
pay the facilitator.   Presumably then putting it in their folder.  
This was a pre-approved expense.  We are a smallish community, 11 homes.     A 
couple of people have asked to allow digital receipts, but the finance 
committee says it's too difficult because they will have some paper receipts 
and some digital receipts.  I have more disgruntlement with this policy since 
COVID and the exposure required getting everything signed and delivered.  
If you have a solution for this waste of paper and time, could you please let 
me know it?  ThanksFernNew Brighton CohousingAptos, CA
