Never Calculate a Per Diem by Hand Again

Manual per diem management is one of the highest-risk areas in federal T&E compliance. Outdated rates, rounding errors, and policy misapplications are common — and expensive during audits. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov eliminates all of it.

1
GSA CONUS Rate Auto-Sync
GSA publishes CONUS per diem rates for hundreds of U.S. localities each fiscal year. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov automatically syncs every rate update. Your per diems are always aligned with the current GSA schedule, with zero manual intervention.
2
DoD PDTATAC OCONUS Rate Management
OCONUS per diem rates for international federal travel are published monthly by the DoD's PDTATAC. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov keeps every country's rates current, including tax and incidental adjustments.
3
Proportional Per Diem Calculation
FTR requires specific proportional calculations for first and last travel days, partial-day meals, and M&IE vs. lodging splits. All calculations applied automatically, correctly, every time — no spreadsheets.
4
Per Diem Deviation Documentation
When travel requires deviation from standard per diem rates, such as authorized actual expense reimbursement, justifications are documented and the required approval trail maintained for audit purposes automatically.

Government T&E: Then vs. Now

The gap between how most agencies manage T&E today and what's possible with intelligent automation is significant — and costly during audits.

❌ Today: Manual Government T&E
  • Finance staff manually look up CONUS rates from GSA PDF tables each fiscal year.
  • Per diem calculations done in spreadsheets — rounding errors are common.
  • Travel card statements reconciled manually at month-end with no audit trail.
  • Audit documentation compiled under pressure during OIG or GAO reviews.
  • Grant-funded expenses tracked in separate systems from non-grant travel.
  • Approvals managed via email chains with no digital audit trail.
  • Employees wait weeks for reimbursement due to manual processing bottlenecks.
  • Policy violations discovered during audits — not at the point of submission.
✓ With ExpenseAnywhere® Gov
  • CONUS/OCONUS rates auto-synced from GSA and DoD PDTATAC daily — always current.
  • Per diems calculated precisely per FTR with zero manual input or rounding risk.
  • Government card transactions reconciled automatically each day with full documentation.

  • Grant-specific expense allocation and OMB Uniform Guidance compliance built in.
  • Configurable digital approval workflows with full audit documentation and timestamps.
  • Employees reimbursed in days — not weeks — with near-touchless.
  • AI flags every policy violation before submission — not after an audit finds it.

Government T&E Questions,
Answered

GSA publishes updated CONUS per diem rates at the start of each federal fiscal year (October 1). ExpenseAnywhere® Gov automatically syncs with the GSA rate database, updating all per diem configurations in real time — no manual intervention, no rate table updates by your finance team. For OCONUS rates, we sync with the DoD PDTATAC monthly publication schedule. Your per diems are always accurate and defensible.
AFI-2025111 is an AFI Master Agreement that makes ExpenseAnywhere® Gov available to eligible government and public sector organizations without the need for a standalone procurement process. The platform is accessible through Edge Public and the Civic Marketplace. This significantly accelerates time-to-contract for agencies and contractors operating within AFI-compatible procurement frameworks. Contact us to verify eligibility and initiate procurement through AFI-2025111.
Yes. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov can be configured to apply FTR rules to civilian agency employees and JTR rules to DoD contractors or civilian DoD personnel within the same platform deployment. Policy rules are applied at the user profile level — based on agency, position, travel type, and contract — so each traveler is automatically governed by the correct regulatory framework without any manual configuration at the time of expense submission.
Every expense report generates an immutable, timestamped audit trail that includes: the original receipt image, the OCR-extracted data, the policy rule applied, the contract number and CLIN allocation, the approval chain with timestamps, and the payment record. This complete record is stored indefinitely and exportable on demand — providing exactly the documentation required to satisfy a DCAA audit without additional preparation work.
Yes. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov connects directly to your existing GSA SmartPay program and other government-issued card programs via daily transaction feeds. Every charge posts automatically, reconciles to receipts, and is FTR-validated — with the itemized documentation required by federal travel card policy. The ExpenseAnywhere Corporate Card is available as an add-on for agencies needing a new card, but replacing your existing government card program is never required.
ExpenseAnywhere® Gov includes built-in support for OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) grant expense requirements. Travelers select the grant or award number at the time of submission, and the platform automatically applies the correct grant-specific policy rules, cost allocation codes, and documentation requirements. For universities, we also support NSF, NIH, DOE, and other major sponsor-specific requirements, as well as the indirect cost (F&A) rate tracking needed for award compliance and rate proposals.
