Features of expense@work system

Policy enforcement

One of the most important features of expense@work is the possibility of enforcing corporate policies and preventing fraud. Rules can be configured to ensure that employees enter all required information, so that the system can validate the expense claim at the point of entry and advise the employee if there are problems with the claim.

Customisable forms

Multiple forms can be set up and configured in expense@work depending on data capture requirements. Different form types can be made available to groups of employees ( for example US-based employees see a different form than UK employees) and all or some employees may have multiple form types available on their Home Page.
