Similar. The best reimbursement system I’ve worked with was for a company that just automatically approved everything under a few thousand dollars (never states a hard threshold) based on individual professional judgement to spend funds to advance company goals. And they audited every purchase ever made when you went for partner.

It was both liberating and terrifying to have that much freedom. The audits weren’t widely available so it’s hard to know how effective this was, but it was pretty rare to hear about people not making partner because of it and they were super thorough about every charge, frequently asking for detail.
