What is the purpose of the DTS Pre-Audit Trip screen?

The purpose of the DTS Pre-Audit Trip screen is to justify questionable expense items. This screen plays a critical role in the auditing process by allowing travelers to provide explanations and justifications for expenses that may not clearly align with policy guidelines or standard practices. This ensures that any ambiguities in the travel claims are addressed before final submission and helps maintain compliance with regulation requirements and recognizes the need for transparency in the reimbursement process.

Travelers can use this screen effectively to specify any unique circumstances surrounding their expenses, making it easier for auditors to review claims and support the integrity of the travel funding system. Thus, it serves as an essential checkpoint that encourages accountability and proper articulation of travel-related costs.
