Sounds like you’re looking for someone to make you feel better about your poor choices, The firms integrity and reputation is greater than one person. Everybody is replaceable
This ☝🏼
PPMD here - if we find out, you’re out of here. Top performers are the ones who can bring in the numbers and have the integrity with it. I don’t want anyone on my team who would steal from the firm. If you’ll fake a taxi receipt, you’ll fake a timesheet. If you’ll fake a timesheet, you’ll fake an invoice. If you’ll do that, you’ll lose us an account.... I suggest you backdate that reimbursement immediately and strongly think about what makes you act like that and.... pls fix
well said 👏
Because if someone is willing to commit fraud, they are a serious liability to the firm- especially at SM/PMD levels. It’s never that you commit fraud as a one-and-done, it’s indicative of character .
Fired all the same, important or not. it's happened to partners who are as important as they get.
Fraud = fired
OP
whoosh KPMG
If someone is a top performer, do they really need to fake an expense for $50
OP you’re just asking for a friend, right? 👀
But why would a firm risk the potential value that person can bring to the firm
Because people who commit fraud are trash.
Full stop
Is this you?

This is a sad state of affairs that casts a shadow on the entire profession.
In every industry you'll have a few bad actors that spoil it for everyone else.
D1 - my thoughts exactly.
OP, you’re overestimating the value anyone , even the greatest performer, can bring to the firm. Nothing measures up to integrity
Don’t ever think that a great performance can compensate for lack of ethics at any company including big 4s. And that’s how it should be
Ethics
I hoped the question was “The expense is legitimate, but a receipt is required for reimbursement. And that “receipt” is fake (i.e., from a different city, at a different time, a guesstimated amount.).” But, I guess not...😬
@md1 Sorry if this has somehow caused offense. I'm just clarifying the situation for folks who are genuinely interested in why expensing policies might be different by region.
I never assumed you have not worked in developing countries. However I did assume that you have not worked in countries where the norm is to actually not give receipts (with there being no physical way of getting them), since otherwise this would be reflected in expensing policy. This should come across in my post if you reread it. Please let me know if this is an invalid assumption.
Even more reason to fire them, leaders should be held to a higher standard especially high performing leaders. These are the leaders up and coming employees look up to and if fraud is the example they set then new younger employees are starting off with a poor representation of success. We are all replaceable no matter how good you sell or compete your job. No firm is built on one person or would collapse without one person.
This gotta be one of the dumbest post of all time
How is the post dumb? It started a valuable conversation. The actions of the SM is what’s dumb.
And OP was never seen again...
Sorry to break it you, but you are replaceable. And sounds like you should be replaced.
Why would anyone fake taxi receipts? Of all things... Really
It’s interesting to see a unanimous assumption that the OP’s post was an attempt to fix or head off the consequences of his or her own fraudulent behaviors.
What if it was an observer of the abuse or an internal auditor of expenses trying to build a case against the Senior Manager? How might this perspective alter or broaden your response ?
D2 - Point taken. But it’s the way the question was raised. Had OP skipped the IF part it would have been different. But OP asked for the consequences for fraud on the condition of rank and performance. That itself indicates that essential righteousness is missing. I would have a hard time to trust someone just based on the way the question was asked. Also, there is no attempt on OP’s side to clarify. Just stressing the condition again
