@erin on why pay for things and get reimbursed instead of having org write cheque: if you need to cater an event and goto Costco ti buy sandwiches etc, even if they accepted cheques, you would need two signatories present at the cash register for the org to issue the cheque. Faster for one to use personal credit card and get reimbursed later. If accounting shows 2 cheques to pay back $237.95 expense, the bank statement would show whether one or two cheques were cashed.
@jfmezei Yeah, I'm with you on that. It's definitely a lot easier at times to just use your personal card and be reimbursed. It's also sometimes a standard of practice with organizations -- for better or worse -- this could very well be how things were just done.
