Sandra,

We have had a few foreign projects with similar concerns and challenges.
We ended up hiring a local management company to handle the in-country
expenses - with the exception of our TDY campus personnel.  We included
the documentation requirements as a part of their SOW and issued them a
subcontract.  I'd be more than happy to discuss the details if you would
be interested.  While the majority of our work has been in Central and
South America, the challenges are probably very similar.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Travel claims for Uzbekistan

I have a situation where one of our project director's travels to
Uzbekistan for field work each year.  It is difficult to obtain the type
of documentation for expenses that is available in the U.S (merchant
receipts for various items).  What type of documentation is acceptable
to your institution in this type of situation?
