SUMMARY:Sikich & Box: Mutual Aid Reimbursement (MARS) made easier
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of all‑hazard responses\, mutual aid reimbursement is often slowed by paper forms\, fragmented communication\, and limited visibility across agencies. These challenges delay funding\, increase administrative burden\, and pull responders away from mission‑critical work. \nJoin Sikich and our partners at Box for an in‑depth look at MARS—a Mutual Aid Reimbursement System. Built on the Box platform and designed by Sikich\, MARS is a secure\, automated solution that transforms how reimbursement requests are submitted\, reviewed\, tracked\, and funded. MARS replaces manual\, error‑prone processes with a single system of record that delivers transparency\, consistency\, and speed for both external agencies and internal teams. MARS truly is a digital solution designed to help response professionals invest time in saving lives and property rather than managing manual coordination. \nWhat You Will Learn\nThis session will demonstrate how Agencies can move from fragmented\, manual reimbursement processes to a streamlined digital workflow: \n\nModernized Submission & Tracking: Replaces emails and paper forms with standardized digital submissions and real‑time status tracking.\nExternal Agency Experience: See how a dedicated portal allows agencies to submit requests\, upload documentation\, and track progress in one place.\nAutomated Processing & Review: Learn how AI summaries\, automated routing\, and role‑based queues reduce manual work and errors.\nFaster\, Cleaner Cost Recovery: Digitize timekeeping\, receipts\, approvals\, and invoice packet generation to accelerate reimbursement and improve audit readiness.\n\nRegister here!
