The OAA will reimburse reasonable expenses incurred on OAA activities. Individuals claiming reimbursement from the OAA are required initially to be directly responsible for their own expenses.

How to make a claim

OAA business

All reimbursement claims for OAA business must be made to the OAA Secretariat on the appropriate expenses claim form (with attached original receipts), which is available from the Committee Area of the website or from the OAA Secretariat by e-mail. You are also required on this form to confirm that you will not claim such expenses from another body.

Annual meetings / educational meetings / AGM

All claims for annual meetings or educational meetings (e.g. hotel and travel expenses) must be made on the appropriate expenses claim form (with attached original receipts) within one month of the meeting. The OAA Secretariat will provide forms. You are also required on this form to confirm that you will not claim such expenses from another body.

Claim forms

All claims are subject to preset limits (see Reimbursement Tables and Expenses Claim Form). If you think your level of expenditure will exceed the maximum amounts set out within the claim form, please liaise with the Honorary Treasurer or the OAA Secretariat, as appropriate, beforehand. Failure to do so in advance may limit the amount of reimbursement.

Expenditure claims should be submitted according to the OAA’s agreed expenditure claim policy. The OAA will reimburse reasonable expenses incurred undertaking OAA activities. The policy goes into further consideration of what reasonable expenses entails to avoid any uncertainty.

Individuals claiming reimbursement are required initially to be directly responsible for their own expenses. Claims with all relevant receipts (paper or electronic copies) should be sent to the OAA Secretariat or OAA Events, for committees and conferences, respectively, for approval. Where claims are not within the set levels reimbursement these should be directed to the Honorary Treasurer for further consideration.

On receipt of an expenditure claim, the budget holder should verify that receipts (in paper or electronic format) have been attached for each of the items listed in the claim as well as ensuring that the OAA’s Expenditure Claim policy is followed.
