I have her bring a friend so they can entertain each other while I am working. Where is the additional cost to my employer? I am just not seeing it.

Expensing the burger in Edmonton for kid and friend is offside I guess. But transportation only, there is no material extra cost.
Taking the car is different though, because it doesn't cost extra. If you were flying to Edmonton, would your company pay for your kid and their friend to fly with you? I highly doubt it. And whether the amount is material or not is irrelevant. The fact is, she charged something extra that she shouldn't have.
