My school relies on the actual receipt.  If someone plays games with
that, I guess it could be a problem.  However, we are usually
reimbursed on a schedule and since that meal allowance is usually far
below the cost of an actual meal (unless you choose McD's) I don't
suppose it is actually a question.

Subject: [RESADM-L] travel meal receipts

This is for institutions that use actual costs rather than Per Diem
for
travel reimbursement purposes.

What kind of documentation do you require from a faculty member
traveling
on federal money to show that alcohol (heaven forbid!) is not part of
the
meal cost?

Thanks!
