You all just gave this person SO many ideas
Submitting disallowed or personal expenses
Yeah you heard the partner. Now gtfo
Overstating mileage traveled to maximize reimbursement
Submitting fake expenses that are under the “receipt required” threshold ($25 at my firm)
EY is not a dry firm. Drinks are certainly reimbursed if it is for a team event. The only exception is if it is an Intern event. Then no alcohol
Managers expensing alcohol for team events even though it’s against firm policy. Funny business at big 4 is heavy#EY
Buying gift cards/reloading Starbucks with travel expense money
Alcohol isnt expensable for team events??
Thanks for the great ideas everyone. Christmas really does present special little miracles.
People expensing personal dinners, personal trips as business trips, submitting daily commuting expenses for reimbursement. Those are just some.
You all may joke about getting great ideas. I know you are joking, but...stepping onto my soapbox...Do keep in mind, at some point, you will get caught. People always do. I have seen the firm press criminal charges against people. Tragically we had a Sr Mgr commit suicide when caught. Smart people do stupid things sometimes. Expense fraud isn’t worth your life or your career. This profession is a lot smaller than you think; we are less than “seven degrees of separation” from knowing one another. As such, not just on this topic, but for your whole career, protect your reputation. It is really hard to repair once damaged
EY1: Correct. It varies but at ey my managers didn’t do anything team related. It was just to drink Senior manager and manager spent a lot during 1 year. At Booz Allen you can’t charge alcohol expense wise.
Alcohol is definitely expendable SC1 unless you’re in some really sad LOS
senior associate 2: once the year was over the manager and senior manager got reprimanded by the executive director that was approving the expense reports after doing a detailed analysis of the expense. buying 1 or 2 drinks may not be bad, but when you spend money in excess on shots, box seats to basketball games etc it becomes not cost efficient when you have a budget for a contract. negatively impacting a bottom line isn’t good
