Fiscal Agent Handbook Index | Forms Instructions Index

 

The advisor/student trip leader will use the Group Travel Voucher to report expenditures or to claim reimbursement from the University for funds utilized in the performance of school sponsored group travel.

The Group Travel Voucher form is a four part form set that can be ordered using the on-line Forms Requisition on the Controller's Office Resources web site at http://www.neiu.edu/~finanaff.  The form also is available in moderate quantities at no cost from Printing Services using the paper version of the Forms Requisition.

The advisor/student trip leader, hereafter referred to as the traveler will, within thirty days upon conclusion of the trip, prepare the Group Travel Voucher in accordance with the University travel regulations that can be found at: http://www.neiu.edu/~finanaff/travelre.pdf. The traveler will certify to the document's accuracy and propriety.

The fiscal agent will sign the voucher after ascertaining that the expenditures appear to be proper and were made in the conduct of official University sponsored group travel. Should the fiscal agent be the traveler then the approval of the individual that the fiscal agent reports to is required.

An approved travel authorization request must be on file before a Group Travel Voucher will be processed for payment.

The traveler completes all applicable data fields on the form, signs the document and routes for approval. The burden for obtaining the fiscal agent's approval resides with the traveler.

The fiscal agent will detach copy three of the Group Travel Voucher after approval. The traveler then forwards the balance of the form set, properly documented, to the travel desk of the Disbursements section of the Controller's Office, room E 220, extension 5128.
