Sempra - Increased scrutiny on expense reports?

Lately, it feels like my expense reports are getting way more attention than usual. Things that were previously approved without a second thought are now being questioned or require additional justification. It's not just my manager; I've heard from others that their reports are also facing the microscope. Small things like travel class upgrades (even when justified by flight times) or certain meal expenses are being flagged. It’s starting to feel like a cost-cutting measure, and while I get that companies need to manage finances, the increased friction is noticeable and a bit demoralizing. Is this a company-wide push for 'fiscal responsibility' or just my specific division tightening the belt? Anyone else experiencing this micro-level scrutiny?

I've noticed it too. It's definitely a shift from how things used to be. I'm not sure if it's a company-wide policy change or just increased vigilance in certain departments, but it's certainly adding extra steps to an already tedious process. Makes you wonder if there's a specific target they're trying to hit or if it's just general belt-tightening. Hopefully, it doesn't become overly burdensome.

Yeah, the expense report scrutiny is real. My reports have been getting flagged for things I thought were standard practice. I'm spending more time justifying basic travel expenses than I do on the actual work. It's a bit frustrating, to be honest. I'm trying to stay compliant, but it feels like the goalposts have moved. Just hoping it doesn't impact morale too much.
