Breakfast under dinner.. bkfsr is 13 and dinner is 50.. so thats not a problem. Dinner in bkfast is problem bkfast limit way way less than dinner . Its a mis categorization problem. You can just say that was the issue. Don’t think its a fireable expense offense. :)

The help desk will send you a instruction guide on how to do it. Basically involves resubmitting everything as a refund on the old description and a new expense on the right description for a long zero dollar submission

Relax. It’s not worth the effort for the firm to chase you over miscategorizing legit expenses. At worst, they would ask you to repay, but that is highly unlikely. Usually only happens in cases where an engagement or person has given indication of suspicious activity and triggered a detailed review People get fired for fraud and abuse, not for typos and being busy with their actual jobs.

Everybody gets checked. Its not always random. I have joined new and submitted expenses twice. In both cases they came back asking something. Plus some items can be flagged easily.. if you are charging 40 usd for breakfast its an automatic flag.

oh you're totally fine. you didn't expense anything personal and you stayed within all limits? there's no reason for them to even audit you then.

As long as your under thresholds you should be fine. Be more careful. You must be eating very cheap dinners to be under $15.

I think I accidentally put like breakfast expense under dinner and dinner under breakfast a bunch of times.. didn’t look up each Uber ride for like it was work to hotel or hotel to work. Stuff like that. Didn’t use it for personal use 100% and I did buy like a heating pad once because my own card didn’t work and I only had the Amex on me while travelling. Marked or personal.

I’ve never crossed thresholds. Dinner are more like meal averages where I had $10 here or $15 there and the mess up only happened because the expenses piled up and I had to put them all in one go. Didn’t remember what was what

So ho do you get randomly audited? Does anyone know?

If you have not been audited yet you can amend your submission proactively, even if they’ve been paid

EY3 How do I amend the already paid expenses? There is no place to do that

Thank you Deloitte 2. I’m folllwing EY 3s advice and looking at all my expenses today to see where all I can amend. It is not helping my anxiety. I’m known to be a good employee and i don’t think anything is worse that getting fired for stupidity when your work isn’t bad!

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
