Audit

Policy alignment review

Compare your written travel expense rules with how claims are actually filled in — and note where forms and rate tables diverge.

Purpose

When reimbursement disputes keep returning to the same clauses — meal caps, weekend lodging, or taxi vs. subway rules — a policy alignment review maps the written rules against a sample of recent travel expense applications.

Scope

  • Reading of the current travel expense policy and related rate appendices
  • Review of 15–30 recent claims chosen with your finance lead
  • Annotation of clauses that claimants and reviewers interpret differently
  • Practical wording suggestions for ambiguous sections (not legal drafting)

Deliverable

A short alignment memo with clause references, example claim lines, and suggested clarifications your committee can adopt or reject.
