Government Contract Travel Expense Compliance and Audit Essentials

SAP Concur partner NeoSystems outlines that government contract travel cost reimbursement is governed by FAR 31.205-46, requiring contractor procedures to meet allowability requirements. Key compliance points include: combining visits within the same geographical area into a single trip; using the lowest customary standard coach airfare during normal business hours to the maximum extent possible; and coordinating travel to minimize trips to the same location. Concur Expense tracks GSA per diem rates, integrates with TMCs, and automatically separates unallowable costs.
