You are hired by Toy Warehouse (a company based in Dallas, TX) to perform an audit on the effectiveness of internal controls related to travel expense reimbursement from Jul. 2023 to Dec. 2023. You interview the manager and find that the company has the following policies related to travel reimbursement.

1. The same travel expense items can only be reimbursed once. In addition,the company only provides reimbursement for one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner expense each day (e.g., an employee will only get one dinner cost reimbursed when multiple dinner costs incurred on the same day).
2. Travel reimbursement needs to be processed within ten days (including weekends or holidays).
3. For Airfare ONLY. The company has contracts with American Airlines, and the traveler needs to use the services provided by American Airlines in order to reduce costs. If not traveling with American Airlines, the company can only reimburse up to the average amount for the same services that the company paid in 2022.
4. The limit for meals is $18 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, and $35 for dinner, with a total meal expense not exceeding $60 per day.
5. Effective Nov 1, 2023, the company will no longer reimburse tips.
6. The company does not reimburse local lodging expenses (i.e., lodging expense incurred in Dallas is not reimbursable).
7. The company currently cannot reimburse travel expenses that are used to contact new customers (i.e., if someone travels to a location without existing customers, the expense is not reimbursable).
8. The company require employees to pay Airfare, Car Rental and Lodging expenses with credit cards.
