Updated procedures could include: • Conducting annual training(s) that address how to ensure UCM appropriately reimburses expenses based on the per diem or actual expense methods, including which method travelers must use for each trip. • Establishing clear guidance regarding the allowability of unused lodging that does not benefit the project(s) charged. • Implementing additional reviews for all airfare purchases, including requiring the reviewer to verify airfare is for an economy-class ticket and complies with federal regulations before charging the expense to federal project(s). • Requiring periodic training for individuals who travel for federal projects that addresses the allowability of travel expenses on federal awards.
