The Connection Between Intelligent T&E Automation and Better Compliance
Intelligent automation in T&E reduces manual errors and improves data timeliness and trustworthiness. Mobile receipt capture and e-receipt processing make expense reports almost self-writing. Automated controls flag suspicious spend and missing receipts, and support tax compliance, including anti-bribery penalties up to $2 million per violation. The 2021 report found excessive missing receipts up 58.6% and duplicate mileage submissions up 2,127%.
