Check policy compliance, flag anomalies, approve or reject expenses
Expense report processing is plagued by policy violations and fraud—employees submit non-compliant expenses while finance teams manually review every receipt, creating bottlenecks and inconsistent enforcement. This agentic workflow automatically receives expense reports, validates receipts and amounts, checks against company expense policy rules, flags policy violations or unusual patterns, either auto-approves within defined limits or routes to managers for review, and processes reimbursements. By enforcing policy consistently and automating routine approvals, this approach accelerates reimbursements while reducing fraud risk and administrative burden. Enterprises implementing automated expense review achieve 60% faster expense processing and improve policy compliance from 70% to 95%, with ROI of 5-7x through combined fraud prevention and time savings. This is valuable for any organization with employee expenses but particularly important for companies with large sales forces, distributed workforces, or frequent travel—including professional services, consulting, pharmaceuticals, technology, media, and field service organizations—where expense volumes are high and policy enforcement directly impacts profitability.
A simple sequential workflow that validates expense reports against policy rules before routing for approval.
