Why do you need expense management?
Expense management is the process of using technology to put in place a system that controls and manages recurring or one-time expenses in a way that helps eliminate unnecessary spend, increase revenue and ensure policy compliance.
There are at least three reasons why you should invest in a solid expense management system:
a. Expense fraud:
Studies have shown that an organisation can lose up to five percent of its revenue due to expense fraud.
What is an expense fraud?
It could be anything - from the tab for a bottle of wine slipped into food bills run up on an outstation assignment to producing fraudulent or inflated bills for large sums of money.
In most cases, an expense fraud can go undetected for months, even a year. By then, most of the damage is done.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners' 2012 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse revealed that a typical organisation loses five percent of its revenues to fraud each year. The ACFE's Report to the Nations 2008 said that out of the total 959 cases of fraud reported in the survey approximately 13.2% come
under the expense reimbursement fraud category.
Undetected expense fraud also inspires me-toos. If one employee gets away with it, another might be tempted to try it too. Expense fraud not only causes revenue loss but also has the potential to trigger a domino effect of a loss of employee loyalty.
b. Policy violations:
One of the reasons why companies fail to achieve their goals is because their carefully formulated policies remain in files on a computer and do not reach the employees who are supposed to follow them. Also, who monitors whether or not policies are being complied with on a day-to-day basis? It's only when violations cause the growth curve to go askew, do these policy documents come out and are waved in the faces of decision-makers in a futile exercise.
IAn effective expense management solution ensures every employee is in the know of the policy guidelines applicable to him or her. It also serves as a watchdog that alerts the management if there is a deviation from the rules.
c. Employee dissatisfaction:
Experts say delayed reimbursements are among the top reasons for high
employee attrition rates. And understandably so. For an employee, waiting for days, even weeks, for the accounts department to settle his or her travel bills, can be frustrating, to put it mildly. It also causes a great deal of friction between the departments that are responsible for settling expenses and the employees and this is
an unhealthy situation for any organisation.
Expense management tools speed up the reimbursement process and make it transparent. So, when an employee submits a bill, he or she knows it will be settled in a given amount of time and if it isn't then he or she will know why.
What do companies spend on?
We know the usual - rent, salaries, machinery, stationery.
And then there's T&E or travel and entertainment - so obvious that we often fail to give it the
attention it needs until it comes and stabs our revenue in the back.
Air travel is what companies spend the most on in the travel category - more than 50 percent -
followed by hotel accommodation.
The recent study conducted by Aberdeen Group on how small and mid-sized companies manage T&E expenses found that travel-related expenses account for nearly seven percent of a mid-market organisation's total budget. More than half of the companies surveyed for this study revealed that the biggest expense management challenge was limited visibility into T&E spending, followed by failure to monitor these expenses and policy violations.
This is only for mid-sized companies. The larger your company, the greater your T&E spend and the tougher it is to monitor.
If we were to say that managing T& expenses is a priority for companies in times when the world is your market, we would be stating the obvious. But we'll say it anyway.
What's our point?
The answer is automation
Automating your expense management process can take care of your expense-related worries.
An Aberdeen Group study on expense management automation conducted in 2007 revealed that 68% of the companies surveyed believed that the top strategic action was to adopt technology to automate expense management processes.
Traditional paper-based systems are not just time-consuming and expensive but also ineffective in today's fast-paced business world. With an automated system, the entire process of claiming an expense and reimbursing it is online using customised software. It not only makes the process, quick, transparent and cost-effective but also allows companies to update policies and keep employees informed about them. It also helps analyse expense patterns and use that knowledge to take future decisions.
This is how we do it
Our team at Infiniti Software Solutions, which has people who helped several large airlines bring their revenue curves back on track, has come up with a unique expense management tool, ExpenseOut.
ExpenseOut is based in the Software as a Service or SaaS model. The service can be accessed anywhere in the world through our portal, www.expenseout.com
A self-service tool for employees, ExpenseOut allows the raising and settling of an expense claim online. An approving manager can view the expense, check it for policy violations and decide whether to allow or reject it.
This way, everybody concerned with the expense is in the know of why the expense was
incurred, whether it was legitimate and whether it could have been minimised.
The flowchart below will explain how the expense management process works with ExpenseOut in case of a straight, legitimate expense claim:
It's as simple as that. If the approving manager rejects an expense wholly or partly, the file is sent back to the employee with the reasons for rejection. The expense is reimbursed only if the
approving manager is convinced of its legitimacy and allows the expense.
ExpenseOut: easy, fast, efficient:
A quick look at the main features of ExpenseOut will tell you why it is a good investment:
- It automatically files recurring expenses so you do not have to create the same expense file again and again
- It allows the management of advance taken by an employee
- It has a customised online reporting system so you can do away with paperwork. How is that for a green solution?
- The system generates graphics and statistics at regular intervals to identify expense patterns. This will come in handy when you formulate strategies in future
- You can create expense policies and update them using this tool. When an employee files an expense, the system allows the approving manager to match it with what the policy guidelines allow for that employee. This is how the system helps keep expense fraud away
- ExpenseOut is easy to integrate with other management systems
- It can also be used to settle third-party claim requests
- The most unique feature of our product is the Leave and Time Sheet Management tool, which facilitates the management of employee man hours and track leave taken. It is also useful to weed out false expense claims: A manager can match the dates an employee has raised an expense for with the dates he or she was on leave on and check if the expense claim is genuine
The last word
An automated expense management solution can bring about double-digit savings for a
company by maximising policy compliance and minimising the cost of processing expense claims.
ExpenseOut is an intelligent expense management tool that is accessible anywhere. It's
affordable and can be customised to suit a company's needs.
More than anything, using an online tool like ExpenseOut will save you a lot of time so you can focus on other long-term goals and leave expense management to us.
New online tool takes pain out of handling expenses
June 23, 2012
Mumbai: Corporates can now manage expenses and spot fraudulent reimbursement claims by simply logging on to a new website, www.expenseout.com, and using the tools it offers to make these tasks smooth and quick.
Infiniti Software Solutions, a Chennai-based company, has launched a unique expense management tool, ExpenseOut, for corporates across the world. An affordable managed service, www.expenseout.com allows companies to file and monitor one-time or recurring expenses online and also check instances of policy violations among employees.
" We are really excited about offering ExpenseOut as a solution to corporates looking for a quick, hassle-free way to manage their expenses and ensure compliance with company policies," Ananth Narasimhan, managing director and chief executive officer, Infiniti Software Solutions, said. "Policy compliance alone can result in up to 15% savings for an organisation. "
For the management, ExpenseOut is a powerful tool to keep a track of expenses and approve or reject them online. The system also generates customised reports that come in handy when future policies are framed.
"ExpenseOut ensures the entire process, from the filing of an expense to its reimbursement, is simple and transparent," Narasimhan, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, said.
The product also has a Leave and Time Sheet Management tool which makes managing employee's leave requests and dates easy. A manager can also use this tool if he suspects an employee has raised an expense for a period when he or she was on personal leave, thus eliminating the chances of fraudulent claims.
Infiniti Software Solutions, which has offices in Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore, is funded by Mumbai Angels, a group of investors that backs start-ups and very-early-stage companies.
