How To Pad Your Expense Report...And Get Away With It!, Revised Edition

Customer Reviews:

The "tricks" to pad expenses were very clever

By BigT "READREADREAD" - September 17, 2004

Employee X is obviously very good at thinking up ways to cheat his employer. I am a Controller at a company that has about 75 expense filers. After I read the book I reviewed some old expense reports and realized that we had no way to catch some of the fraud the "author" recommends. I dug deeper and looked at the sales department expenses and was floored by the amount of errors and outright cheating. Thanks to Employee X we looked at ways to improve our auditing. We ended up going with a web product called expense expert and our employees suddenly started submitting smaller expense reports and we could easily spot "mistakes". Read the book if you are in finance but keep it away from your sales people.

Outdated

By Nabil Abdulla - November 9, 2011

I would recommend the kindle version ( cheaper ) if you really feel curious .

For example, is it realistic to buy a cheap airline ticket, and then buy the same ticket at an inflated fare just before departure? Her theory states that you should fly on the discounted airfare, and submit the expensive one on your expense report (and then get a refund). Perhaps her tips could be useful for a mom-and-pop operation.

Or similarly, after you check out of a hotel and get your receipt, go back and negotiate a lower rate. You then submit the original receipt for reimbursement, and pocket the difference.

In another example, she directs the reader what to do if you get caught. First, you should deny, deny, deny. Then, point the finger at the accuser, and ask what basis they have for questioning your expense reports. Finally, threaten that you will... read more
