I disagree with you on this Raju. Whoever is bearing the expense should be the one to claim it. In this case
The cost of the hotel is not in question. The point is that the individuals involved recovered twice the expense of what the room cost.
In your car example - only the driver/owner of the car incurs the 'costs' related to the travel, therefore should be the only one to claim the mileage allowance. Why should the 2 passengers claim anything? They had no costs!
This is all about the integrity of the Accountants involved, although I do agree with other comments that the timeline seems a bit "iffy". Why wait so long to go through this process?!
