This is definitely a fraud and a part of breaching the code of conduct.

This is a falsification of the expenses and otherwise termed as the expense fraud. Many employees have been fired for such an activity.

It would not matter if he is owning a business as the policies and rules are the same for all the employees.

An organization would maintain equality when it comes to employee management.
