- 40 percent do not pre-authorize T&E expenses. “Far too many companies are still not requiring pre-approvals for business expenses. One of our customers saved roughly $1 million in just the first year after implementing a system-based pre-approval process. Part of the benefit is psychological -- employees will think twice about incurring an expense if they know they will face increased scrutiny up front,” said Rich.
- 47 percent still audit every expense report. “There was a commonly held belief that the more you audit, the better off you are.” added Rich. “When the expense process was manual, you couldn’t rely on systems to catch improper allocations or fraud, and therefore a lot of resources were expended on audits. With a completely automated, rules-based system and spot audits, companies can achieve comparable or better results at a fraction of the cost.”
