  EXPENSE PROCESS - REDUCING COSTS

Processing expense claims is a time consuming process as there are so many aspects that have to be checked e.g. a proper VAT receipt, value of receipts matches the claim, expense item is within policy.

Reviews of expenses processes and payments often identify more efficient ways of processing the claims and an improvement to compliance which will ultimately lead to reduced costs when there is a compliance review. Many organisations have not reviewed their expenses policies for some time nor is there a full understanding of how much is expended and the suppliers used.

Through using better processes and systems the function will become more efficient and so reduce overall cost. Through the use of Expenses Management systems there are opportunities to gather management information that enables the organisation to better identify where spend is occurring and with what suppliers. This then given opportunities to negotiate discounts with the suppliers and enables organisations to specify that only certain suppliers are to be used for certain expenses types.

We offer a detailed review of the procedures, forms and policies used to claim expenses, the processes used to check, authorise and pay expenses, and assistance with gathering management information that can be used to develop policies such as preferred supplier.

Expenses are often very contentious and so an independent report may be a more effective way of introducing change, challenging items that are claimed and developing a commercial but fair policy.

Clearly, well timed reviews are essential to ensure compliance, prevent fraud, and identify obvious and non-obvious cost savings. The only question left is should the review be done internally, by the people already managing or operating the process, or by someone with fresh eyes with experience of managing excellence in these areas.
