“It’s OK to take the expense report back to the employee and ask if he or she made a mistake when calculating the expense report, and if no mistake was made, then they need to pay for that expense.”
– Melissa Brown, Controller
Roger A. Brown & Co., Huntington Harbour
“It’s OK to remember the old saying, ‘Cheaters never prosper.’ I have very little patience for liars and cheaters. The way I look at it, if you’re cheating on business expenses, you’re probably cheating and lying about many other aspects of your life. So if I find you cheating, you’re definitely not going to prosper as my employee any longer!”
– Monica Miller, Vice President
Miller Restoration Services Inc., Huntington Beach
“It’s OK to fire the employee. Cheating on expenses is the same as stealing from the company. Employees who do this feel as though the company owes them something, and that it is OK to steal. Without taking such drastic action, the employee will most likely continue this behavior.”
– Janet Honaker, Operations Manager
Newport Management Advisors, Newport Beach
