I am aware that meals are recorded at 100% and deducted at 50%. What I was trying to say is that meals were not being deducted at 50% on tax returns (because the employees were reporting them as 'hotel' or 'flight' expenses). The company gives reimbursements under an accountable plan. Receipts are required for all expenses over $25.00.
I had access to the company's employee reimbursements-I was the manager of travel expense reimbursements and I saw how the employees were cheating the company and the government by double-dipping expense reimbursements and by not turning in receipts.
I know I don't need a lawyer. I wrote that I wanted to consult with a lawyer if this is something that is worth it, in order to give the lawyer the specifics and get the lawyer's take on things. I wanted to run it through this forum to see if a lawyer would laugh at me or not.
I still would like to know what kind of lawyer to go to for a consultation. Can anyone else help me?
You do realize that if you were the manager of travel expense reimbursements and you allowed that to happen, that YOU could be prosecuted by the company?...that the company could pin all the blame on you if you report them to the IRS?
