The Location Expense Report of Redshift Frame Productions

6 min

Redshift Frame Productions has filed a location and catering expense report for the week of principal photography on their feature film 'Hollow Signal,' running 14–18 July 2026. The company's insurance policy requires all location-hire and catering vendor payments above $500 to be routed through pre-approved vendors on the production's approved-vendor register. The accounts department has flagged the report for audit after a routine cross-check raised a question about one of the vendor names claimed. You are asked to review the six expense lines against the available records and identify which line names a party that does not match the record, and which record reveals the contradiction.
