New job provides reimbursement for remote work equipment by item (eg $300 for monitor, $500 for desk, etc…). I already have a desk so I would prefer to reallocate that money to a better monitor setup or upgraded peripherals but they won’t let me flex the budget like that. What risk is there if I purchase a desk for $500, expense it, return it, then use that money towards the equipment I actually need?

Probably none. Ain’t no one coming to your house to make sure you’re using the desk you expensed.

I think the same. It's a pain to return a desk though. Maybe you can cancel before the delivery

It’s probably against policy to do this but the risk of you getting caught are very slim
