This would need sign off by line manager, head of dept, senior finance manager and 2 x cheque/EFT signatories. This kind of abuse is not happening on a wide scale, if at all.
The whole system stinks and has for years. Imagine being paid almost €140 per day if you live 15.1 miles from your office and you come into work. Anyone within 15 miles gets €61. Doesn't exactly reflect real life does it?
Where is this happening?
I deal with a lot of agencies, and councils, and depts, and I have never, ever come across any situations like this.

No - because you are not prepared to go 'on record' and get it stopped, it doesn't happen. If you are certain that this is happening, why are you not making it stop?Right so because you didn't see it, it doesn't happen?
That's not how it works in any organisation I've seen. The Head of Dept doesn't sign off blindly - they will have a good understanding of the level of travel being carried out by individuals in their organisation and will be querying unusual claims. Same applies for cheque signatories.The Head of dept more than likely trusts his direct reports and relies on them to keep expenses in line. The rest of the sign-offs just get the signed approval and pass no remarks.
AH I see - so it wasn't him doing it, but he knows a fella who is doing it. Just like all those taximen know 'de blacks' who get free taxis/free haircuts/free buggies etc?I couldn't believe it either but he was adamant that it was happening. I don't know the person or dept responsible but I encouraged him to report it too.

Yep, that's exactly it. 1st hand information is useless because I didn't see it happen myself! Jeez. Complainer, you would disagree with a dead man.AH I see - so it wasn't him doing it, but he knows a fella who is doing it.

At least I'm being honest and telling the truth, as I am sure that they were. Denying it with a harrumph and a "that could never happen. I don't believe it. You didn't see it so therefore it's rubbish' is really a quite weak reaction.
You are of course entitled to believe that it is true, just as you are entitled to believe that the sun went blue and danced around the sky in Knock last week. There is no evidence to support either claim.I believe it to be true. Someone whom I worked closely alongside and knew socially told me this on the next occasion I met them after they had joined the HSE. They were stunned to see how people worked and the rules they played by in the world he moved into.

You say it can't be true, I say it not only CAN be true, it IS true.
I really don't believe that this happens. But if you believe it is happen, put a stop to it. Report it and get it sorted.
