how to verify the authenticity of the expenses, and other valulable things should i check.

06 April 2010 Firstly, get a complete chart of Corporate hierarchy which will let you understand duties, responsibilities, accountability and reporting structure. Further, you can get information about the authorised signatories for sanctioning various types along with limits of payments.
Also get details about which types of expenses are allowed to be incurred by the supervisor.
You may ask the accountant or supervisor to get all the supporting documents and vouchers for the expenses incurred.
