I'm sorting through the income and expenditure for a charity, and I've found that they've paid for petrol for a privately-owned car directly from their bank account. My understanding was that the trustee should be recording their mileage and claiming expenses at 45p per mile, and not paying for petrol which they now can't prove has been used for charity purposes - is that correct?
If that is the case, and the payments for petrol shouldn't have been made using charity funds, how do I account for those payments? If it was a business I would record it as drawings, but clearly that's not possible here.
Grateful for any help!
