Hello John. For me, the key to a good expense policy is making the rules clear enough that nobody has to become a detective afterwards. I would strongly consider a per diem for meals. It reduces the mountain of receipts and saves everyone considerable administrative time. Using company cards for flights and hotels can also provide better control while capturing transaction data automatically. I would make sure the policy clearly states that expenses must remain within the approved budget. That can prevent quite a few awkward conversations later.
