  1. Hi everyone, I could really do with some advice please? I have been reported to HR by my manager for using my corporate amex card for personal expenses. This does not mean that the company paid for my personal expenses - I used the card and then paid the bills myself. I know that there are many other people in the company who do this including many senior managers and my boss's boss. There is a line in the expenses policy about not using the card for personal expenses but then there is also a checkbox in the system that says 'do not reimburse - personal expense'. I admit that I let it get out of hand and had quite a lot of purchases go through the card each month (this has been happening over the course of about nine months). There is currently money outstanding on the card - I have paid off a chunk and let my HRBP know that the rest will be paid off the moment I get my next pay. When I first put a personal expense on the card I asked the person who is now my manager if that was something that was done at this company and she said everyone does it and that her boss put everything on hers. It was ok as long as you paid it off... I reminded her of this when she told me that she had reported me to HR but she said 'I wasn't condoning it'. However I have no doubt that she'll deny this completely if asked by HR. She's known the whole time she has been my manager that I had personal expenses on there but she waited until a few days before I left to raise it with HR. I wonder if she has found that it could save her paying my redundancy out of my budget. She put me at risk of redundancy the moment she arrived and I am currently on garden leave for three months for my notice period. This manager and I were once friends before she became my manager and I'm sure there is a personal element to this because from what I have heard no-one else has been disciplined for this. I could really use some help as I am scared witless. I can't afford to lose my redundancy pay, or I won't be able to pay for the degree course I have started or my bills and I can't even start looking for a new job as I don't know whether I will be on garden leave for three months or if I will have a gross misconduct dismissal on my record! I've been asked to come in and meet our head of financial audit on monday as part of the investigation and I'm not sure how to prepare for this meeting or what to say. Can anyone give me some advice on how to defend myself? I've been stupid but I feel my boss is exploiting that to save herself my redundancy money for her budget. Thank you!
