Murrer 11/17/2011, if we are just reimbursing, a W-9 is not needed. However, if
speaker is not a US citizen, AP will instruct on any additional paperwork that
may be needed. Generally, packet should include the signed IPF, all receipts, a
vendor set-up form (annotate as “Reimbursement Only” at the top), signed
determination of citizenship, and a copy of the speaker announcement. (AA can
be assigned to do some of these tasks with overall responsibility with the VC).
