No Travel Receipts <$25 Andrew Shepard 18 Nov 1997 11:09 EST

My University is revising its travel policy and the question has been
raised regarding receipts for costs less than $25.00 on travel
pertaining to sponsored projects. Proposed policy is: no receipts are
required for items that cost less than $25.00 while a person is
traveling. This excludes meals which will be reimbursed on a per diem
basis. A question has been raised as to whether or not the lack of
receipts for other costs would be in compliance with the documentation
requirements of A-21 and A-110.

I would appreciate responses from other institutions with experience
with this topic to help us determine if the proposed policy of not
requiring receipts for expenses under $25 would be in compliance with
the federal rules.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Andy
