A Fiscal
Agent is a person or agency that takes care
of the accounting and bookeeping needs that go along
with running a personal support system.
The
government that provides the money for individual supports,
requires that all of the money is accounted for. Mostly
that means that the money is spent on the the things
that you have proposed to spend on. You are not allowed
to spend more than you receive.
As "Fiscal
Agents", we help keep track of the
financial part of running a business. We make sure
that you can show and tell the government how and
where you have spent the money that you have received.
When
you are running a personal support system, you are
really running a business. You have income and expenses.
You have to setup a contract for money that you will
receive from the government. You have to keep track
of how you spend the money that you receive.
We
use our experience at setting up an individual budget
accounting system for the people we serve, to help
other people who have received money from the government
to run a personal support system. |
