FAQs about automated expense reporting

Expense reporting is the process where employees submit business-related costs to their employer to be reimbursed. It involves tracking expenses, collecting receipts, submitting them for approval, and receiving payment. Modern software automates this process to reduce manual work and increase accuracy.

Automating an expense report involves using software that handles the entire process digitally. The key steps are:

  • Smart Receipt Capture: Employees snap a photo of a receipt with their phone, and the system automatically extracts key data like the amount, date, and vendor using OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
  • Automatic Categorization: The software categorizes the expense according to company policies (e.g., travel, meals, software).
  • Automated Policy Checks: The system instantly checks the expense against company rules to flag any violations, like exceeding a spending limit.
  • Digital Approval Workflows: The report is automatically sent to the right manager for approval, who can approve or deny it with a single click.
  • Accounting Integration: Once approved, the data is seamlessly synced with accounting software (like QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite) for faster bookkeeping and reimbursement.

Expense reports are typically categorized by the purpose of the spending. Common types include:

  • Travel and Expense (T&E) Reports: Used to claim costs for business trips, including flights, hotels, meals, and client entertainment.
  • Mileage Reports: Specifically for tracking and claiming reimbursement for business-related travel using a personal vehicle.
  • Project-Based Reports: Used to consolidate all expenses related to a specific project to track its budget and profitability.
  • General or Miscellaneous Reports: A catch-all for other business costs, such as office supplies, training courses, or software subscriptions.

Getting started with Sage Expense Management is incredibly fast. Its user-friendly design allows businesses to get up and running in minutes. Administrators can easily set up company policies on an intuitive dashboard, while employees can start submitting expenses immediately via the simple mobile or web app.

Sage Expense Management provides enterprise-grade security. The platform is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2013 certified, uses end-to-end encryption, and is hosted on secure AWS servers. We ensure your financial data is always protected.
