Rules And Requirements For Employee Expense Reimbursements

Webcast/Audio Conference/Interview/Podcast

Certain reimbursements for employee expenses should be treated as expenses, while others should be treated as compensation. The trick is in knowing which is which!

If employee expense reimbursements do not meet IRS guidelines, they may be disallowed as expenses and considered compensation to those employees, leaving your organization responsible for the associated payroll taxes and any penalties.

Learning Objectives:

This training session will help you to recognize - and accurately report - employee expense reimbursements. By attending, you will learn:

• Outline of the rules and requirements governing expense reimbursements, including best practices for Accountable Plans, Per Diems, and Advance Accounting
• Best practices for processing expense reimbursements either in payroll or accounts payable
• Per diems and advance accounting: when are they best used; how to account for them; when they become compensation versus an allowable business expense
• Recommended procedures for giving employees an advance prior to traveling
• Best Practices for processing employee expense reimbursements

...and as always, this session will be interactive, so we'll be able to answer your questions on this topic throughout the presentation!
