Per diem dinner allowance for Orlando at KPMG seems low at $33. That city has become much more expensive especially since it’s essentially a resort town. What do other firms allow?

Do you think residents are spending $33 per dinner on an average week night? It’s sufficient.

Agreed. Sounds just spoiled to expect more than that. My goodness I normally do Subway most nights and that feeds me twice.

Internationally, it’s $75 for dinner

KPMG per diem is always, in my experience, the maximum amount allowable for tax deduction set by GSA for a particular area. If you think it's too stingy take it up with the government.

Skip the steakhouse? There very often and Per Diem is fine unless you are hitting the tourist spots. Have you traveled many other locations?

There are plenty of places to eat in Orlando that will cost you less than $33 just avoid the universal / Disney world areas and you will be more than fine. But you can probably make those $33 work in certain restaurants in city walk if you have to stay in that area.

Or even various restaurants in Disney springs.

Accenture is generally between 36 and 48 I think. This would be the range for bottom to top tier cities

Def feels like ours takes the lowest for the day, removes lunch and breakfast (bc most have it free in the club and lunch can be subsidized), then divides be remaining across a base and 3 meals.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
