WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE… AND YES, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Revenue income event (RIE) (1102): any type of income generated from an event or opportunity where goods and/or services are provided in exchange for monies or payment in kind (quid pro quo) Examples: sale of merchandise, tickets, sponsorship, etc.

Fundraising (0392): gift of funds, services, and/or material goods offered without obligation and/or expectation of payment to the donor. Examples: restaurant nights, car wash (by donation only), letter campaign, giving away apparel for free, etc.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? As a club, you are part of the UREC department, which means you function as a business.

We have to track how everything changes hand. Merchandise and equipment counts as money because your club purchased it with your funds.

We must have receipts for every single transaction and it must be recorded on your paperwork.

We have to make sure we are reconciling all money in and out. Ideally, we should not be off by even a penny, but we understand things happen, so we have allowed a 5 dollar discrepancy.

Complete a Reconciliation Form each time the inventory/fund changes hands and/or when the event is over.
