## Overview

### Key benefits of Expense Audit

1\. Purpose-built, proven, mature, AI-first platform for expense auditing, with 7 years of AI model training on over 60 million transactions; unlike other solutions that use generic AI platforms containing gaps and limited domain knowledge, Expense Audit contains the world’s first AI platform built from the start with finance teams in mind and dedicated specifically to Autonomous Finance Operations&#10;&#10;2. Utilizes Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Semantic Understanding, Deep Learning, and OCR for a more thorough understanding of your data&#10;&#10;3. Provides 80 different checks for unauthorized spend, with over 30 AI audit models&#10;&#10;4. 100% prepayment audit keeps you compliant with regulations and stops fraud in its tracks&#10;&#10;5. Understands the content and context of natural language–it can distinguish menu items and brands, as well as specific expense types like electronics; recognizes your latest policies and quickly detects out-of-policy purchases and mislabelled expense lines&#10;&#10;6. Reads receipts in more than 40 non-English languages&#10;&#10;7. Pre-payment inline crossover check for duplicates uses exact and fuzzy image matching with extracted, unstructured, and electronic data across AP, T\&amp;E, and P-Cards; catches duplicates in different receipt formats, duplicates submitted by more than one person, and more, across all of your spend&#10;&#10;8. Finance AppStore provides ready-to-deploy expense audit apps for additional checks on more expense types, or you can customize AI models specific to your unique, complex needs&#10;&#10;9. Robust, prepayment compliance checks review merchants and individuals, such as dinner guests or gift recipients, against dozens of national and international anti-bribery laws, lists of sanctioned and debarred entities, and politically-exposed persons, as well as thousands of online sources and MCC codes, to ensure your organization is not compromised by regulation violations&#10;&#10;10. Uses restaurant-specific social data, MCC codes, and other checks to confirm restaurant prices and integrity&#10;&#10;11. Reads unstructured data and identifies documents related to HCP speaking engagements and seminar fees; identifies HCPs in expense claims and receipts by checking the US National Provider Identifier Registry&#10;&#10;12. Provides peer benchmarking against your own data on spend, risk, and operations&#10;&#10;13. Empowers managers with Team intelligence, enabling front-line managers and finance staff to manage their teams' spend across expenses and cards, identify high-risk behaviors, and have data-driven conversations about non-compliance, wasteful spend trends, and areas for change&#10;&#10;14. Gain custom insights into unique business questions by creating actionable, custom dashboards; track late expense submissions, vendors with the most high-risk spend, and individuals who repeatedly submit expenses just below the approved threshold

It complements and integrates with most major expense management systems, including Chrome River, SAP Concur, and Workday, and performs real-time audits of every line item in expense reports. It cross-references expense reports with receipts and thousands of online sources to extract key information and catch duplicates, out-of-policy spend, incorrect amounts, suspicious merchants or attendees, and excessive spend. By identifying and automatically approving low-risk expense reports and invoices, approvers only need to focus on high-risk items, saving thousands of hours of time and effort.\n\nExpense Audit provides access to an AI-first platform that is the foundation of AppZen’s products. Its standard AI models cover most common expense audit scenarios. It also has the flexibility to extend those standard models or configure new AI models to meet a company’s specific policy requirements, a capability that makes Expense Audit unique to the industry.\n\nAnalytics are generated for dynamic, AI-driven insights on audited spend data. Managers gain a valuable view of spend, risk, and risk-management operational performance, with standard and customizable charts, dashboards, and metrics. Analytics also measure data against industry peer standard benchmarks to enable finance managers to identify areas of excellence and opportunity. \n\nIn addition, the Team Intelligence feature allows managers visibility into the spend of their team. Managers can review analytics with easy-to-use spend dashboards in order to manage team spend; have data-driven conversations with employees by identifying high-risk behaviors; and investigate non-compliance and wasteful spend trends using key metrics, to pinpoint areas for change.\n\nAlso included is Bulk Data Export for Expense Audit. This provides the ability to create scheduled expense line-level detail extracts that can be posted to your preferred SFTP destination. The extracted details per line include AI model metadata which can be leveraged to run analytics on your preferred platform.\n\nSingle sign-on provides a standards-based user authentication solution that integrates with identity provider applications through SAML, OpenID Connect, or OAuth. It improves the login experience for users and allows administrators to easily provide or revoke access to users through their identity provider application of choice. Single sign-on supports service provider authentication flow.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/479fde7a-e384-469a-935c-7050d01675f8.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2056357/expense-audit","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2056357/expense-audit#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.3,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":4},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Compliance Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/243/compliance/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Expense Audit","position":3,"item":"/software/2056357/expense-audit","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2056357/expense-audit#breadcrumblist"}]}
