Travel and hospitality expenses


FCC is financially self-sustaining and is not dependent on the federal government for annual funding. Its mandate is to enhance rural Canada by providing business and financial solutions to farm families and agribusiness.

At FCC, acting with integrity and maintaining the highest ethical standards are important priorities.  As part of our commitment to advance the business of agriculture, we have policies governing:

  • Travel necessary to effectively deliver services to customers and reimburse employees for expenses when traveling on FCC business
  • Hosting customer events and community events
  • Use of internal business meetings, teambuilding and volunteer activities
