Our Travel and Entertainment Review and DOA Review Report encompasses a detailed examination of a company's travel and entertainment (T&E) expenditures, along with an analysis of the delegation of authority (DOA) processes. This report outlines the methodology used to assess the current T&E policies, including interviews with key personnel and a review of submitted expenses over a specified period. It highlights significant findings, such as the prevalence of missing receipts, delayed submissions and noncompliance with established policies. It also identifies specific high-risk expense categories that require closer scrutiny, particularly around group meals and transactions occurring on holidays or weekends.  

In addition to the findings, this document provides actionable recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of T&E management. These include the need for standardized policies across regions, improved approval workflows and stricter controls on expense submissions, especially in relation to high-risk categories. The report emphasizes the importance of implementing automated compliance checks within the company's expense management system to ensure adherence to policy requirements. Overall, this review aims to foster greater accountability and efficiency in managing travel and entertainment expenses while minimizing potential financial risks associated with improper spending practices.  

Recommendations include:

• Create a T&E policy specifically for executives.
• Document appropriate spend thresholds or expectations by position level.
• Document required approvals for executive expenses.
• Review and document which user(s) are eligible to submit expenses on behalf of other employees.
