Does anyone know if it's a problem that I charged more than the $25 dinner allowance to my company Amex? When I submit I'll only submit $25 but the charge was $35.

It's fine as long as you pay off the difference of 10

Allowance is $25 for overtime meals, $50 for out-of-town dinners. For all regions.

Just submit as 35 and the expense team will edit for u

I thought the dinner allowance was $50 now across all regions?

Agree with the posters above - nothing to worry about as long as you submit "only" $25 into GTandE. Worth mentioning that the "Company AMEX" is actually in your own name. Firm doesn't see the statements. However, I think Firm policy is not to use the business AMEX for anything "personal" (but I have no idea how they would know whether you used it for a non-business expense).

No issues. Submit the portion that policy allows. My cell is auto paid via Amex. I only submit what is allowable. Uber is linked and if a ride is "personal" (not reimburseable) I just use the option "mark personal" in gt&e. So long as not abusing the card and paying in full, I've seen no issues....yet

It is 50$ if your out-of-town and 25$ if your in-town (over-time meal).

EY has a group of "go getters" in India that "audit" and approve expense report submissions. It's comical when they challenge a $5 meal expense but don't question the $200 networking/teaming bar tab

Never 50 I think it depends on what region r u in. That's why I was saying to just submit 35 and they will refund whatever amount that it should be to u

Policy changed last fall; it’s $50 when traveling out of town (no more region-based), and $25 for overtime meal in town.

Yea that's fine since you'll only get reimbursed 25

Definitely $50 standard everywhere per our expense policy

Is anyone actually monitoring this stuff? We always kept it to $15 or so when I was at PwC, but maybe it's higher.

@ey9 they aren't go getters. They are doing their jobs.

@EY10 - if I could give you a down vote I would. What's your point?

$50 for 8 hour weekend

@EY10, they are go getters just because they are doing their job
