Some of the most commonly used documents you may need:

Processing payments

Incoming and Outgoing payments are processed using finance forms. The Following flowcharts can be used to figure out which form you should use.

- Outgoing Payments

- Incoming Payments

 Interactive Finance Forms  should be used. Forms need to be signed by Chair/Treasurer and then either Executive Treasurer or relevant SU Staff Member before it comes to the Finance team. 

Example forms

- Yellow Form - used for requesting reimbursements from your account (e.g. you've bought food for an event and need to claim back the money).

- Blue Form - used for transfering money within the SU (e.g. paying another group for a service they have provided).

- Orange Form - used for paying other organisations via transfer (BACS), invoice or credit card (e.g. buying something online directly without having to pay for it upfront yourself).

- Invoice Request - used for requesting an invoice that can be sent to another organisation.
