Has anyone else noticed increased scrutiny on expenses?

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if I'm alone on this. Lately, it feels like every single expense report is getting pulled apart with a fine-tooth comb. My manager is asking for receipts for things that used to be no-brainers. Even small stuff, like coffee during a client meeting, is being questioned. It's not just me, either. I've heard a couple of colleagues complaining about the same thing. Is this a company-wide thing, or just my department getting extra pressure? Feels like they're trying to nickel-and-dime us, which is a bit worrying given the general buzz about the market. Anyone else seeing this, and any idea what's driving it?

Yeah, I'm seeing something similar here. It's definitely ramped up in the last quarter. I think it's less about micro-managing and more about the company needing to keep a tighter grip on the purse strings overall. They probably have some internal targets they're trying to hit, and cutting back on even the small stuff adds up. My advice? Just be diligent with your receipts and make sure everything is clearly justified. It's annoying, but probably a sign of the times.

Hmm, I haven't really noticed anything like that on my end. Expense reports have been business as usual. Maybe it's specific to your department or location? Sometimes regional managers or specific team leads get more autonomy to set their own internal policies, and it can filter down. Could be worth asking a peer in a different department if they're experiencing the same. Don't want to be the one to dismiss your concerns, but it's not a universal trend from what I can see.
