The Reimbursement Process • Club member compiles the original receipts & submits them to the Club Treasurer with an explanatory note for his/her signature • Club Treasurer reviews the receipts and fills in and signs a voucher. He/she submits the signed voucher and original receipts to the KSA VP of Finance (Fritz Buerger) OR the Kellogg SOFO rep (Deb Garcia) • KSA VP of Finance reviews the vouchers, signs the white voucher and then updates his/her records. He/she passes the voucher and receipts to the Kellogg SOFO rep
