Question

Donna Holbrook, an administrative assistant at Mason Enterprises, charged some office supplies to the company credit card. Several weeks later, she attached the store receipt from the purchase to an expense report and requested reimbursement from the company. This is an example of which type of expense reimbursement scheme?

Multiple reimbursement T/F

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is True. Donna committed Multiple Reimbursement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple reimbursement is when an employee purchases a particular product or service and tenders different forms of payment receipts for the purpose of profiting from his/her employer/organization.

As in the question above, we can see that Donna Holbrook did not use the initial receipt from the credit card transaction. Instead, she tendered another receipt from the store for the same expense in her expense report. In this case, the cost for the office supplies had already been paid for by the company, but Donna reported a different receipt, hoping it would serve as proof that she in fact incurred the cost herself and therefore be reimbursed.

The company will therefore, be incurring the same cost twice.
