Agreed, but if such a transaction is directed internally for his or own benefit it may still result in a taxable event for the individual.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Honorarium

This is usually acceptable. Often, the original recipient can strike a deal with his/her employer to give a talk or serve on a review panel with the understanding that they won't have to take time off if the honorarium goes to the institution.
Furthermore, institutions often allow the funds to be credited to a discretionary account controlled by the original recipient.

What is your professional opinion or is there a regulation you can provide inn regards to this:

Can you pay an honorarium to a organization when the intended individual to whom it was meant for wishes to have it paid to their employer?

Thanks for your input.
