If an employer chooses a per diem method of substantiation for travel expenses, the meals and incidental expenses method requires actual cost records to substantiate lodging expenses.
Option E
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The price of the meal and the additional expenses while travelling away from home for work purposes is deducted from an employee or self-employed person. The expense deduction generally requires the costs to be substantiated.
There has been, however, an optional form that prohibits receipts for these taxpayers.
The IRS releases Diem levels for different parts of the United States (see Notification 2015-63 on the subject of irs.gov). For just the intent of measuring a meal and an accessory deduction, taxpayers may use such per diem rates and will be required to prove it.
If an employer wants a method of proof of travel expenses by Diem, the meal and by-product procedure requires real cost records in order to prove accommodation expenses.

Answer:
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
⇒ documentation procedures
Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?

No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.
