FBC requires an invoice to receive honorariums because it is the official form of a request for payment. Entities like FBC are required in many cases to show an auditor proof of a request of payment and also receipt of payment to the same individual or group. This is apart of financial compliance and record keeping for the corporation.

FBC would like to keep on brand with the themed event that is being showcased. While we ensure that communications being broadcast are a reflection of our organization, we like to ensure that the formatting of events stays consistent with our communications and marketing strategies. Keeping FBC slide templates the same across the board enforces that we continue to emphasize our branding strategies holistically. 

The FBC encourages our hosts, panelists, judges, guest speakers etc. no later than 30 days after the event has taken place. In order to ensure that payments get paid off in a timely manner, we advise folks submitting their invoices to upload their invoice and fill out the event under the section “Honorariums” and “Submit an Invoice” as soon as possible. Once the invoice has been received, please wait 10-15 business days for a payment to be made. Should a payment not be received within the designated deadline, please escalate this concern to: info@fbcfcn.ca with the subject line “URGENT REQUEST – DELAYED PAYMENT”. A member of our events team will escalate this concern as soon as possible.
