| Oct 13, 2022 at 9:37 | comment | added | Michael Harvey | My view, as a member of a financial governance team, with accept/reject powers, is that manipulation of claims to disguise inappropriate expenditure would get all of the participants into disciplinary hot water, with dismissal a very possible outcome. These suggestions amount to making false claims. Believe me, we've seen most of the shenanigans that are possible. | |
| Oct 13, 2022 at 9:28 | comment | added | Eric Nolan | @GoodDeeds You are correct. I confused the daily and weekly amounts. I deleted my comment. It's a lot less unlikely when only 4-5 people have to agree although it still seems strange to me. | |

| Oct 12, 2022 at 21:37 | comment | added | gnasher729 | The problem is that he claims it as a shared expense when in reality it wasn’t, in order to save 1250. Which is plain and simple fraud. | |
| Oct 12, 2022 at 12:43 | comment | added | GoodDeeds | @EricNolan Not disagreeing, but your number seems off, they would only need 4-5 colleagues to help, giving a "combined" weekly allowance of $1500-$1800. | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 8:59 | comment | added | Eterm | You asked your colleagues to commit expenses fraud to cover up an honest mistake? | |
| Oct 11, 2022 at 2:12 | comment | added | Chris Strickland | I notice there are 307 upvotes between all the answers. 3 of them are on the accepted answer. The other 304 are either some variant of be honest with your boss OR expense only a normal amount and pay the rest yourself so that it doesn't become a work issue. I would really, really consider why that distribution is so lopsided before you pursue your current plan of action. | |

| Oct 10, 2022 at 7:19 | comment | added | Thomas | I am confused, you thought $300/day was ok, but you have trouble paying back the $1250? What company has an allowance policy like that but pays you so little that you can't afford the difference? This alone should have made you re-read the policy before spending so much. | |
| Oct 10, 2022 at 6:33 | comment | added | quarague | Are these US-Dollars? Just wondering what country you travelled to and what job area you have so that $300 per day sounds like a plausible amount. | |
