Most survey respondents use fixed Per Diem allowances, typically using government rates as the cap. However, multiple methods are often used to validate these expenses. Effectively managing Per Diem allowances is essential to controlling project costs and ensuring compliance, especially when 60% of respondents must validate claims by location and travel dates, and many rely on audits and approvals to prevent misuse.
