Certainly, none of the companies that I worked for offered such to any
of their staff. Even the Chairman and Chief Executive of one PLC had
to account for every single penny, or their expenses did not get paid!

Never underestimate the ability of accountants to want to do accountancy. I had some expenses for a quite expensive week long trip abroad returned to me once, as I'd claimed for a breakfast (just one) and they wanted me to show that breakfast wasn't already included in the hotel's room rate!
