Does anyone have a No reciept for or know how I can get one. Thank You

I don't think there's an official form for when someone turns in an expense with no receipt, though some wards might have a form they created to use. Basically you just need a paper that says the amount spent, when and where, why you didn't get a receipt, and a signature...

Question 17 of the financial audit checklist states:

If the original receipt or invoice is lost, the substitute documentation should include a written explanation with the payment purpose, a description of what was bought or paid for, the date the payment was made, the name of the person assisted (for payments from fast offerings), and proper approval.

Any prepared form should have provisions for those five (six for fast offering payments) required items at a minimum. Essentially the substitute documentation would have the same things a receipt would have with the addition of an explanation and proper approval.

Does anyone know how to get a lost receipt form

As stated in the previous posts, there is general 'lost receipt' form. You can ask you ward clerk if your ward has created one but lost receipts should be very rare so it's unlikely that one has been created. In any case, you should talk to your ward clerk or finance clerk and explain the situation and they can instruct you on how they want to handle the lost receipt. They will need you to write something with the information described in the post previous to yours.

We get our members to sign a statutory declaration if they try and claim an expense with no receipt. It's a standard legal document, so they write their comments, sign it in front of a list of specified witnesses (this list is set in both state and national legislation), and hand it in with their claim.
