Why Spend Visibility Doesn't Equal Control Anymore
A SAP Concur blog post argues that spend visibility alone is no longer sufficient for control. It distinguishes visibility, governance, and operational control, emphasizing embedding policies into workflows for real-time compliance. Automation and risk flagging reduce friction and enhance control.
Impact and considerations
Corporate travel and expense management must shift from passive monitoring to proactive architecture, embedding policies into systems to improve compliance and efficiency.
Key points
- Visibility is passive and doesn't prevent out-of-policy purchases.
- Governance defines policy but needs enforcement in practice.
- Operational control embeds policy into workflows for real-time compliance.
