Subject: [RESADM-L] Back up documentation for expenses

We are in the process of reviewing our institutional policies, and I
have a quick (hopefully simple) question for my esteemed colleagues -
Do
you require original receipts as back up for expenses reimbursement or
do you allow copies of the receipts to be submitted?

Thanks for your help.

Marie
