did the employee complete a company expense report? if so that would
contain the information needed (IMHO) for the subpoena.

It really all depends. If the employee is doing that much travel for
the organization then the organization should consider issuing a
company credit card.

I would assume all the information needed would be with the expense
report, and see no reason for turning over personal purchase
information. UNLESS the allegation involves the employee purchasing
and delivering something to a client or customer and representing that
it came from the company. It really all depends upon the allegations
and the case.
