Claims for travel allowances and expense reimbursements may be submitted electronically to IPEA through the Department of Finance’s system, PEMS. IPEA supports the use of PEMS for all of your travel claims. You can refer to IPEA's step-by-step PEMS guides (PDF and video versions) to assist you in learning how to use PEMS.
