Considered to be business entertainment, partially social in nature.
{"Image DocumentName": "Considered to be business entertainment, partially social in nature.", "Image ImageDescription": "Expenses associated with social events (visitor receptions, alumni reunions, etc.) Considered to be business entertainment, partially social in nature. Necessary to further University interests. Expenses should be reasonable. Business purpose of entertainment must be clearly documented. Requires description of who attended (ex. individual names, name of group) and total number in attendance. Unallowable as direct or indirect costs to the university \u2013 must be allocated correctly to unallowable expense types or appropriate function. If you have expenses that are associated with events that have a social nature, like visitor receptions, alumni reunions or where you are entertaining donors or prospective donors, these expenses are reimbursable. These types of events are considered necessary to further the university\u2019s interests. The expenses associated with these events should be reasonable, meaning that the dollar amount of the expenses incurred should align with the expected business benefit. Additionally, the business purpose of the event should be clearly documented and must include information about who attended the event (such as names of the individuals or group that the event is held for) and the total number of people in attendance. If there is a question as to whether your expenses would be considered entertainment rather than a more traditional business meal or meeting, one way to decide the answer is to consider whether or not companions or spouses were a part of the meal, meeting, or event. If the answer is \u2018Yes\u2019, it is most likely the expenses would be considered business entertainment. Expenses related to business entertainment must be charged to either the unallowable expense type or to an appropriate function that will prevent them from being included in the university\u2019s direct and indirect sponsored project costs.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
