Good points well made there @nathen007 . I knew a government official locally who went on "work " trips and he used to charge for the same hotel expenses from 2 government departments. The same expenses so interesting you should say that. Sometimes they government official wouldn't even stay the night but get a lift to and from the venue from another government official. They cancelled the bookings last minute and took the expense for the hotels, and the mileage as well. And then claimed back for everything twice. So this stuff is not beyond the realms of possibility and there is a hell of alot more oversight in government departments. The project managers will come back and say everything is accounted for with receipts but I'm not convinced. I would like to see these receipts.
