EY auditors are the WORST! Why are you asking me for a receipt for a $30 transaction that was on my AMEX. I can't wait for vacation!

I got a kickback today for not explaining my business purpose for a flight. My description that I had written was "flight to and from <location> for chargeable client on <date> and <date>"

Seriously how much more descriptive could I get?!?

One of our guys once had to explain that driving from TX to NJ was time prohibitive and that's why they flew. Fuck our expense auditing system.

I promise you can't! EY1 They have been horrible lately.. last week I had an UBER and my To -from was: from hotel to dinner.. they kicked it back and I wrote from Marriott hotel to x restaurant and they allowed it 😡🙄

I wonder what kind of training is provided to the auditors ...

Although, E1 - flying to client from X to Y on (date) is not really a business reason :)

I just put client name in X city.. still frustrating but makes sense

I'm embarrassed

Why?!

Had to do the same for a flight as well... so ridiculous when you are obviously charging it to a client code for a specific project

I've had everything pushed through like hotels and meals and then they push back on the flight

I got a kickback asking why my hotel wasn't booked through the system - I replied 'it was' and it went through five minutes later................

@EY1 I got the same kick back for not stating my "business reason" for a client meeting.

I also booked an EY preferred hotel through travel portal with my Amex, got kicked back for violating some rates.... and had to provide a valid business reason. 🙄 rolling my damn eyes
