    SAP Concur: Eight Key Questions to Review Your T&E Program

    SAP Concur published a blog urging finance leaders to periodically review their travel and expense (T&E) programs, offering eight key questions: whether T&E is defined consistently, whether spend can be managed in hybrid and remote settings, spend agility, fraud reduction, whether compliance protects both company and employees, whether the T&E system needs change, whether employees will actually follow the expense policy, and whether the right tools measure success. It notes employees use more payment methods and categories, and that without visibility and controls, spend data scatters, compliance slips and costs rise, citing that companies lose an average of 5% of annual revenue to fraud.

    SAP Concur: Direct vs. indirect spend and why it matters

    A SAP Concur blog post explains the difference between direct and indirect spend: direct spend is tied to producing goods or services and affects cost of goods sold (COGS) and profit margins, while indirect spend supports operations without directly contributing to production, including employee travel and expenses (T&E), and is decentralized, frequent, and harder to track and control. The post states that companies adopting an integrated travel and expense (T&E) solution see 21% savings in travel bookings and expense reporting, 20% lower invoice processing costs, and a 26% increase in policy compliance.
