Does anyone have a policy in place about itemized receipts to prove expenses for bank employee meals?

What documentation is required?

Both receipts: the one itemizing meal and the actual credit card charge receipt. Senior management approval required if no receipt is provided.

You also need to abide by the IRS documentation rules.

Wow, Brenda both receipts would seem to be a little overkill.

our policy requires a copy of the itemized receipt for reimbursement if over $25. if under $25, we'd prefer the receipt but it is not required. 99% of our employees that would incur this expense also have a bank-issued card, so generally not an issue.

I had a bank-issed credit card (previous employer) and we were supposed to turn in the detailed receipt only if the meal exceeded $50. The actual credit card receipt was, technically, always required but they only cared about receipts for anything over $20.

We got a monthly statement of our card activity and had to provide a detailed expense report that covered all purchases (reason for it, where, who with, etc.)

I always made sure to provide all receipts, but I often forget the detailed food receipt as it is. Good thing is my meal expenses did not exceed $50 often.

Our policy - For meals, parking and the like a detailed receipt is only required for expenses that exceed the IRS documentation requirements ($75 I think).
