Topic 1: Travel Management
To ensure financial transparency, it is important that institutions provide timely, meaningful, and reliable disclosure pertaining to travel management.
Transparency and disclosure can be achieved by ensuring travel expenses paid with federal funds are:
- Allowable (permitted and not specifically prohibited)
- Necessary and reasonable for grant award performance
- Treated consistently with travel paid for by the organization
- Adequately documented
- Allocable
- Directly project-related
- Proportionally distributed, when necessary
- Aligned with market prices and goods for the geographic area
- Reasonable to a prudent person
