The Benefits of a Travel and Expense (T&E) Policy

You cannot underestimate the importance of travel expense management in your company or business. Whether you’re the director of a large corporation, a listed company, a councillor, a member of parliament, or hold any position of power, a travel and expense policy can help ensure compliance and transparency.

Individuals need to be able to submit the right expense reports and be reimbursed correctly for travel expenses like travel fares and transport, meals, lodging, and business expenses.

Please read on to learn more about travel and expense policies.

Advantages of Travel and Expense Policies

A travel and expense policy makes it possible to log in accurately and disclose all travel expenses. That way, you can:

• Boost your bottom line by saving you several costs, such as the expense processing and travel costs.
• Avert employee and corporate fraud since there are standard procedures and policies for submitting allowable travel expense reports.
• Streamline the booking, thus, the reimbursement process, whether pre or post-payment.
• Improve accountability during audits by ensuring that you gather detailed expense data quickly and accurately.
• Ensure compliance with IRS requirements and regulations.
• Improve efficiency by keeping employees and other stakeholders like supervisors and accounts payable staff informed about the travel and expense policy at all times; this mitigates unnecessary communication and time wastage.

Travel and Expense Automation is the Way to Go

You need the right solutions for tracking and reporting travel expense data to enjoy the above benefits. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case with most businesses that rely on paper-based, excel-based, or government-issued solutions for tracking travel expense data.

Such solutions are time-consuming, error-prone, and can cause compliance issues. For instance, it is easy for a paper-based system to get lost or damaged. Meanwhile, an excel-based travel expense tracking system is prone to human error. Again, government-issued solutions might be inefficient and too generic to fully suit your or your company’s needs.

But there’s no need to worry. Resolve is here to sort all these issues out for you.
