Expense is the Center of the Business Travel Data Universe
Among business travel data sources, expense data is the single source of 'travel spend truth' because it captures all spend not on corporate cards and supplier-direct, and it ties to general ledger data. CFOs trust GL data more, so travel managers should align with expense teams and align travel reports with expense data and GL categories to improve accuracy and credibility.
