Please use this form to claim any pre-approved expenses you have incurred on NZGS business. Once filled in, and valid GST receipts are attached, please send as a PDF to treasurer@nzgs.org.
The ‘Code to be charged’ column should line up with our budget, so please as the treasurer if you are uncertain which code to use.
Our codes comprise four elements, separated by dots:
- The Technical Interest Group code. For NZGS this is always C250.
- The department code (number 1-7, depending on which part of NZGS is involved)
- The branch or event code (a three digit number specific to a branch or event)
- The General Ledger code (a four digit code representing the type of cost)
Some of the most common valid codes are:
- Committee meeting travel: C250.1.103.2300
- Local branch catering: C250.4.<your branch number>.2300
