Per Diem Automation

Federal & State Per Diem Rates That Update Themselves

Manual per diem management is among the highest-risk areas in government finance. Outdated rates, rounding shortcuts, and misapplied proration rules each become an audit finding. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov removes the human step from the calculation entirely.

01

CONUS Rates Sync on Publication Day

The moment GSA releases its annual federal travel rate schedule, every domestic locality in the platform updates automatically. No version lag between what GSA publishes and what your travelers are reimbursed against.

02

OCONUS Rates Updated Monthly

Foreign per diem figures, including theater-specific and post-specific adjustments, are pulled directly from the DoD PDTATAC monthly publication — with no manual tracking spreadsheet required.

03

State Schedules Configured per Jurisdiction

For state and local agencies, the platform is configured to your specific state's published per diem and mileage tables — not a federal default that doesn't apply to you.

04

First & Last Day Proration — Automatic

Partial-day M&IE calculations, lodging versus meal splits, and first/last-day proration are calculated using the exact formulas each regulation specifies — every time, without spreadsheet drift.

05

Exceptions Documented, Not Just Approved

When actual-expense reimbursement above standard per diem is required, the justification and the approval record are captured together — defensible from day one, not reconstructed during an audit.

Proven Results in Government

What NYS Departments and U.S. Federal Agencies Actually Achieved

For more than a decade, ExpenseAnywhere® has supported NYS Departments of Transportation and Health, the Attorney General's Office, the Office of General Services, the Public Service Commission, and multiple U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories. Here's what modernizing government finance looks like in practice.

Case Study: Transforming T&E for NYS Departments & U.S. Federal Agencies

These agencies faced highly complex, frequently changing travel regulations, limited real-time visibility into government spending, manual paper-based approval processes, high volumes of card exceptions and reconciliation delays, and significant administrative workload for finance and audit teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Public Finance Officers Ask Us First

Can federal agencies purchase ExpenseAnywhere® Gov without running a full RFP process?
Yes — and this is one of the most significant advantages for government buyers. ExpenseAnywhere Corporation holds the AFI Master Agreement (AFI-2025111) as the sole contract awardee, available via Edge Public and the Civic Marketplace. Eligible federal, state, and local government organizations can procure the platform through this vehicle without running a standalone request for proposal — satisfying competitive procurement requirements while reducing time-to-deployment from months to weeks.
Does the platform cover both FTR requirements for federal agencies and state travel regulations for municipalities?
Yes. The Federal Travel Regulation (41 CFR Parts 300-304) governs civilian federal agency travel. The Joint Travel Regulations cover DoD civilian and contractor personnel. State and local agencies operate under their own state-published schedules. K-12 districts and universities add Title I, IDEA, EDGAR, and OMB 2 CFR Part 200 on top. ExpenseAnywhere® Gov is configured to the specific framework that applies to your organization — you don't get a generic solution that partially fits.
How current are the CONUS and OCONUS per diem rates?
CONUS rates sync from the GSA's published schedule on the day they're released — typically each October for the new fiscal year. OCONUS rates follow the Defense Department's PDTATAC monthly publication cycle. Neither requires any manual action from your team. For state agencies, state-specific schedules are configured to your jurisdiction and updated when your state publishes revised rates.
How quickly can an agency respond to an OIG or GAO audit request?
Because every expense claim's full documentation — submission data, applicable policy citation, approval chain, and payment record — is captured automatically as part of normal processing, an audit package is ready to export on demand. Participating NYS agencies reported assembling responses to audit inquiries in a fraction of the time previously required, compared to the manual reconstruction process that preceded automation.
Does ExpenseAnywhere® Gov integrate with government ERP and financial systems?
Yes. The platform integrates with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, PeopleSoft, Tyler Technologies, Workday, Sage Intacct, and all major government financial management systems. Approved expense data is posted automatically to the correct department, appropriation code, and cost center — without manual journal entries.
Is this the best travel and expense management software option for both small school districts and large federal agencies?
ExpenseAnywhere® Gov scales across the full range — from a single-building K-12 district managing one federal grant program to multi-bureau federal agencies processing thousands of expense claims monthly. The platform is configured around your organization's size and regulatory framework, not a fixed tier structure. The NYS deployment covered multiple departments with different reporting lines, different compliance requirements, and different ERP systems — all under one platform.
