In some workplaces, certain employees are given a credit card account for work-related expenses. These are usually for travel, lodging, meal stipends, etc. The expectation is that the card is to be used only for those work-related expenses, and in rare cases, an emergency. Furthermore, in order to ensure the organization's accounting books are level, receipts are expected to be kept. Generally speaking, people usually are responsible for their cards, but this trope is obviously not about that. No, this trope is about those instances in media where a character is so irresponsible with their company credit card or expense account that their purchases alone set off alarms within the company and usually result in discipline, one way or another. Keep in mind, this isn't just restricted to corporate entities, as IRL government entities and nonprofits can also issue organizational credit cards and expense accounts and have them abused. A subtrope of Credit Card Plot. Crosses into Conspicuous Consumption, Stealing from the Till, and White-Collar Crime. If the credit card abuser is related in some way to an executive at the company/organization they might be a Silver Spoon Troublemaker. If it is an executive at the company, then they might be a Corrupt Corporate Executive. Naturally, this is Truth in Television and a lot more common than you would think, so let's not list any real life examples. Examples: |
