Why must travelers account for all portions of travel on their voucher?

Travelers must account for all portions of their travel on their voucher primarily to ensure full compliance with applicable guidelines and prevent misuse of funds. This meticulous accounting serves as a safeguard against fraudulent claims and promotes fiscal responsibility. By accurately reporting all travel-related expenses, travelers align with regulations set by the government and related entities, ensuring that funds are only expended for legitimate, authorized travel purposes. This practice enhances accountability within the travel system, fostering trust and transparency in the management of public funds.

Completing a travel voucher accurately also ultimately supports the integrity of the entire DTS system, making it essential for every traveler to fully disclose their travel expenditures.
