1. Finance Committee Report to the National Executive Committee 4 May 2012

2. Approval of Minutes Finance Committee approved minutes from its meeting on 3 November 2011

3. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES • CAPR 173-1 requires Wings/Regions/Units to develop Financial Management Procedures for: • Expense approval • Recurring expenses • Credit card authorizations • Bank transfers • Travel • With the exception of travel, all requirements could be met using a standardized form. • Utilizing a standard form will simplify the financial process for units

4. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC mandate use of a standardized form to eliminate the requirement for Wings/Regions/Units to develop their own Financial Management Procedures for expense approvals, recurring expenses, credit card authorizations, and bank transfers.

5. CASH ADVANCES • Cash advances are allowed per CAPR 173-1 • Current regulation does not provide sufficient guidance on terms of the advance • Some advances have been treated as “petty cash” • Purpose for the advance changes

6. CASH ADVANCES Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC authorize a change to CAPR 173-1 to limit the term of a cash advance to 60 days and limit advances to one per member at a time.

7. DONATIONS • CAPR 173-1 currently requires units to send all donation checks to Wing HQ for deposit • Both Wings and Units have requested a change to the regulation to allow the Units to deposit checks locally and forward a copy of the check and supporting documentation to the Wing • Changing this process will still allow Wing oversight for issuance of donation letters by the Commander

8. DONATIONS Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC support a change to CAPR 173-1 to allow Units to deposit donations locally and forward a copy of the check and/or supporting documentation to the Wing.

9. CREDIT CARD POLICY • CAPR 173-1 does not provide specific guidance on the action to be taken if a cardholder fails to comply with credit card reporting requirements • New language in the regulation ensures corporate policies are standardized • New policy will also support the use of the Consolidated Financial Form which only requires a list of authorized card holders

10. CREDIT CARD POLICY • Policy details reporting requirements • Documentary evidence showing the amount, date, place, and essential character of each expense within 21 days after the date of the billing statement • Meals on travel, except for meals associated with business entertainment, are not allowed if individual elects per diem • Noncompliance with reporting or personal use requirements is grounds for cancelling the credit card • Credit card revoked upon the third such incident

11. CREDIT CARD POLICY Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC approve the revised credit card policy.

12. WING FINANCIAL ANALYST • CAPR 173-1 requires additional information on the WFA audit function to include unit audits • New language in the regulation will provide clarity regarding the purpose of the function of the WFA • WFA’s now audit all assets, including financial assets as well as supplies and equipment documented in ORMS

13. WING FINANCIAL ANALYST Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC authorize a change to CAPR 173-1 to provide additional detail on the Wing Financial Analyst’s expanded role that now includes audit of all assets including supplies and equipment recorded in ORMS as well as financial assets.

14. ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE • Due to confusion about policy requirements in CAP 173-1, additional guidance will be included in the regulation regarding: • W-9 reporting • Internal Financial Review • Business meals and entertainment • Changing reference from NovelAspect to Smart Vault

15. VEHICLE REIMBURSEMENTS • CAPR 173-3 currently authorizes reimbursement to members for “Automotive fuel and lubricants actually used while enroute to/from and while performing the mission.” • Vehicle lubricants, such as oil, are not mission specific. • Some questionable claims have been filed for lubricants.

16. VEHICLE REIMBURSEMENTS Finance Committee recommends that: The NEC authorize a change to CAPR 173-3 to eliminate reimbursements for privately owned vehicle lubricants. Note: Reimbursement for aircraft lubricants continues. Reimbursement for aircraft and vehicle fuel continues.

17. USAA AGREEMENT • CAP’S affinity card agreement with Bank of America has expired • CAP/PA has been researching a replacement card for the membership • USAA has prepared a proposal for a new affinity card agreement • Proposal is on the NEC agenda for consideration
