If I receive a WFH subsidy from my company and am reimbursed after buying a home office item, will I have to refund the money to my company if I end up returning the item I bought because I don’t like it?

If you are asking about intentional fraud, you know the answer already…

It’s fraud if you got reimbursed for it, then return it and don’t give the money back to your employer.

Expense the credit (negative refund amount) from the return

Of course. What kind of question is this?

Can you just replace it with something that you like better that’s about same price?

Why don’t you have someone sell it on Facebook Marketplace

You work for Accenture? Is it a yearly wfh subsidy or is it just a one time thing?

I’m no longer at Accenture

I mean no probably not. But every firm is different. Not saying it’s ethical but I could have a home office item expensed and then return it. Is it a big deal like the commenters above are making it sound? No. Your firm is not going to go under because you decided to return your chair. If you can live with it then go for it.

It’s fraud. You got reimbursed for something you returned and you pocketed the reimbursement that doesn’t belong to you. At any reasonable company, you’d be fired for that.
