WORKSPOTHQ — FICTIONAL TEACHING EXAMPLE

A fictional transit-card sequence

Synthetic guidance only. Not a real receipt, claim requirement, or measured processor output.

Credit purchased
$20
Check: Stored value added

Journey fare
$3
Check: Credit used

Remaining credit
$17
Check: Not a refund or new expense

Do not sum these into $40 of spending. Determine whether the reporting policy tracks purchased credit or actual travel and retain the appropriate evidence.

REVIEW CHECKLIST

1. Identify the document as a ticket, pass purchase, top-up or travel history.

2. Locate the fare, purchase date and currency.

3. Exclude route numbers, ticket identifiers and remaining balance from amount fields.

4. Check for overlap between a pass purchase and individual journey records.

LIMITATIONS

Some tickets do not name the purchaser or show all required payment details. Request appropriate evidence from the transport provider if necessary.
