Do I need an original, itemized receipt to reimburse for a traveler’s meals if less than the Per Diem allowance?

Answer

No receipt is required as long as the amount reimbursed is within the Per Diem allowance of the applicable city location.  However, a general description of what was purchased must be documented for auditing purposes (i.e. Breakfast on 6/22, and Dinner on 6/23).
