Why It's Important To Code Alcohol and Entertainment Correctly

Alcohol and entertainment must be separated from other expenses and coded correctly to comply with Federal grant and contract requirements.

Alcohol and entertainment for business purposes are reimbursable; however, the charges must never be submitted against a grant or contract and must be coded correctly to expenditure type 873000.
