Expense Reports & Ancillary Fees

I’ve been thinking about these subjects a lot recently so here are some questions to throw out there to the blogging world:

-How do you keep track of ancillary fees?

-Do your expense reports have a “miscellaneous” category?

-How do you know expenses in the” miscellaneous” category are within policy?

-How much do “miscellaneous” expenses seem to add up to every month?

-Do you have a certain monetary threshold travelers have to reach before they have to submit a receipt(s) with their expense report?

-Are your travelers aware of what an ancillary fee is? Is this outlined in your policy?

-Do you participate in ancillary fee research and analysis?

-Who is responsible for such research?

-How often do you have someone go through your receipts and expense reports to make sure they are accurate and within policy?

-What is the difference in your travel spending from 2006 to 2011? What is the impact from ancillary fees?
