Question John regularly inflated his T&S claims when travelling to meetings by submitting additional receipts he'd found that did not relate to his items/costs.

Select the correct option and then Confirm No Yes

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

The question pertains to law, specifically criminal law, as it involves the conceptualization of fraud. The assumption highlighted is subtle; it states that over-inflating expenses reports - an act commonly known as ‘theft by deception’ - and cheating the company through petty receipts is tantamount to asking for additional payment for work that technically falls under overtime. Although the case of compensatory claims is in perspective. It is unilaterally considered wrong because John is claiming extra hours yet he hasn't worked those hours. He was not entitled to claim extra costs as 'compensation' for his additional work. Workers cannot use deceptive means to compensate for their extra hours; they need their employer’s explicit agreement that expense reports, or any method other than transparent pay solution for that matter, won't result in compensation. To answer the question whether his acts can be considered fraudulent under US/UK or any region's legal/historical origin concept and law of fraud, the answer would essentially hinge on whether lying for pecuniary gain, causing loss or damage to another constitute an act of 'deceit' (false representation, fraudulent inducement) or as other jurisdictions would often put, 'theft by deception'.
