Hello-
We currently have a business meal limit of $110/day for employees. The audit rule is in place to disallow for the submission of amounts that exceed the $110. However, we have noticed that when employees add attendees to the business meal, the audit rule does not work.
For example:
Jan 1 - Employee A has meal expense of $50 (no additional attendees) on expense report 123456789
Jan 1 - Employee A has meal expense of $130 (with 1 additional attendee), on expense report 123456789
This equals a total meal amount of $115 for Jan 1 for Employee A on report 123456789. The audit rule does not flag this report as an excess meal expense. due to the itemization.
Does anyone have insight on how to trigger the audit rule when meals have attendees?
