(A)Write the report without taking the trip. (B)Accept the expense-paid trip but disclose the value of the services accepted in the report. ©Accept the expense paid trip and write an objective report. (D)Pay for all travel expenses, including costs of meals and incidental items. Is it C or D? Please explain what’s your reasoning.
d, best practice is for ward tp pay travel expenses. avoid payment for trips unless there are extinuating circumstances that are reuqired to visit projects in remote locations, commercial flights are not readily avaialable, too time consuming.
jgrandits could not have explained it any better.
