Expense Report Audit
Expense reports are the last step in the corporate travel program, and one that should never be forgotten by the travel manager. This is the step where most corporate fraud takes place, and where diligence by the corporate travel manager is most needed. Topaz once again can assist you with the audit of expense reports by applying the many years of experience we have to finding errors and issues that should be addressed. In past audits of expense reports we have found such excesses as pet manicures, spa treatments and luggage that were reimbursed to employees even though they were a clear violation of policy.
In addition, we have found millions in spending that has leaked from a managed travel program through improperly booked airline tickets, hotels and car rentals. By implementing a regularly scheduled audit of expense reports you can reduce over time the frequency of such leakage and lost savings by focusing your efforts on those travelers and expense report approvers that are the primary culprits. Topaz International has completed a case study that can assist you in determining your need for this service.
