Employee Expense: Padding not cheating
On the whole business travelers do not “cheat” their expenses in the most strictly negative sense of the word. They adapt their expense claims to expenses incurred and sometimes they anticipate those to come.
The majority of travelers are honest. 79% state that they have never cheated with expense reports. This does not however mean that we are able to say that the other 21% are necessarily cheats, for them it is most often a case of requesting reimbursement for a receipt they have lost or the amount of which was too low to merit a request. This is more a question of compensation rather than a calculated intention to cheat.
