Hi, do the stake audit questions or some other reference address this?:
I'm aware that leaders are not supposed to submit expense requests for reimbursement to themselves in LCR. In other words, if they spend the money and they want to request money back, some other leader should typically submit that reimbursement request in LCR. I'm just paraphrasing here, but hopefully this is enough to establish a reference to that general rule.
So here's the question: Does anyone know if that rule extends to others that are close to that leader (for example, the immediate family of that leader). Illustration: My wife spends money for her primary music calling. Can I as ward clerk submit an expense reimbursement request so that she can be reimbursed? Or does a different leader need to do that because she is too close in relationship to me?
My guess is the answer is yes, someone else needs to submit it... and that answer makes me most comfortable obviously, even if it's for no other reason than avoiding any appearance of fraud, or to follow the spirit of the rule. So, I'm just curious if there is an official rule as well to help unify everyone around that, e.g. so that we can teach our local unit about that rule.
Note: I saw a reference to this topic here: https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/fo ... hp?t=34183. I'm just wondering if there is anything official on it.
