Text of Recommendation | Direct TAMU to strengthen its administrative and management procedures and internal controls surrounding the purchase of airfare and the approval of travel expense reports. Updated procedures could include: a. Conducting annual training for those individuals responsible for reviewing and approving expense reports within each department. b. Establishing clear guidance regarding the allowability of no-show expenses that do not benefit the project(s) charged. c. Establishing clear guidance regarding how employees that are combining business and personal travel should document that the combined travel did not cause the total airfare expenses to exceed the expenses that TAMU would have incurred if the employee had only performed business-related travel. |
