1. Canadian Expense Reports

2. The revenue and expense system for Canadian FIS events is now in its 4 th year and has proved to be a fair and equitable system. This payment system spreads out the travel costs for TDs across the entire Canadian FIS calendar and assures that ROCs equally share in the benefits and risks as a community of ROCs in our FIS system. It also separates the ROC and the specific TD at any venue from the majority of the necessary financial transactions that cover these expenses. This popular payment system is a very important detail for FIS TDs who service FIS events in Canada to respect. There are important elements both ROCs and FIS TDs must provide for this to operate as designed, and it is clear some members need to fully understand what is required. The flat-rate system allows the TD Commissioner and the coordinators to make decisions with the assigned TDs of how to effectively best manage TD resources and serve our ROC’s on an aggregated and shared-risk basis. Pre-event coordination with TDs about exact travel cost limits and other aspects of the forecast expenses are individually authorized and agreed. Discussions or objections to travel costs rarely involve the ROC’s.

3. 3 Canadian Expense Reports This is a flat-rate per codex system which allows the TD Commissioner and the coordinators to make decisions with the assigned TDs on how to effectively best manage TD’s and resources. Especially when it comes to travel arrangements. This System works because of pre-event coordination, planning, budgeting and pre-travel approval. There are important elements both ROCs and FIS TDs must provide for this to operate as designed, and members need to fully understand what is required. 3
