SAP Concur Releases Travel Expense Policy Template and Key Components

A SAP Concur blog says companies devote an average of 10% of budget to employee travel and expense, and a formal policy provides reimbursement guidance and real-time budget visibility. It cites Oversight data saying 37% of business travelers had at least one exception on their expense reports and the typical company loses at least 5% of annual revenue to fraud. It lists key policy components including purpose, booking guidelines, reimbursable items, limits, documentation, approval workflow, company cards, tax compliance, and technology.
