1.     OVERVIEW

This Expenses Policy should be read in conjunction with the “All Rise (The Bar) – Articles” (copy available on request).

 

ARTB is an un-constituted special interest group, the objects of which are to stand against belittling, bullying, discriminatory and unacceptable behaviour at the Bar and its wider community (“the Objects”).  

 

The Administrators of ARTB and any Volunteers are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in promoting and supporting the delivery of the Objects, however they should not make a profit or otherwise be seen to be in receipt of remuneration in the promotion or furtherance of the Objects.  

 

Underlying this Expenses Policy is the need for the Administrators to ensure that proper use is made of ARTB funds and a transparent account given.

 

ARTB reserves the right to amend this Expenses Policy in accordance with Best Practice guidance.

 

2.     PROPER EXPENSES

 

The following are a list of those expenses which are deemed to have been necessarily and properly incurred in the promotion and furtherance of the Objects:

 

a.     Acquisition and distribution ARTB material including the Pin and bookmark;

b.     Printing, postage and stationary costs;

c.     Travel and parking costs:

                                               i.     mileage is to be reimbursed in accordance with HMRC recommended allowances;

                                              ii.     train tickets should be booked in advance (First Class travel will not be permitted without good reason and must be agreed in advance).

d.     Website hosting;

e.     Marketing and advertising costs;

f.      Other out of pocket expenses for goods/services purchased on behalf of ARTB.

 

Any expense or item of expenditure not listed above is deemed by ARTB not to be an allowance and recoverable expense unless 75% of the Administrators agree otherwise.

3.     COMPLETION, SUBMISSION AND REIMBURSEMENT

Administrators and Volunteers should submit their expenses claim in the form provided at Appendix A with accompanying receipts, where applicable.

 

If possible, all claims should be submitted within 30 days of incurring the expense.  Late submissions may result in a delay in reimbursement.

 

All claims by Volunteers will be reviewed by at least two Administrators.  An Administrator may not review his/her/their own claim. 

4.     WAIVING EXPENSES

ARTB are grateful to those volunteers who may wish to waive their claim to expenses by denoting them as “donations” or “contributions” but the Administrators ask that no such waiver is given.  This is ensure that a full and proper account can be kept of the cost of administering ARTB and transparent representation given of the actual donations/contributions made.
