Key takeaways: 

  • Harnessing AI for compliance: AI in expense management has moved beyond basic rule-based systems, now enabling real-time compliance by automatically flagging non-compliant expenses and reducing manual workload for finance teams.

  • Empowering employees with real-time payments: Real-time payment solutions and virtual cards provide employees with tailored spending limits, balancing flexibility with financial control for the company.

  • Tracking sustainability with carbon counting: Companies are integrating carbon tracking into finance, using tools to estimate emissions and support sustainability goals as well as regulatory requirements.

  • Simplifying compliance through real-time reporting: Real-time compliance minimises the need for monthly expense reports, allowing finance teams to immediately address non-compliant expenses and improve policy adherence.

  • Centralising financial management for strategic oversight: The shift towards a single dashboard for expenses, invoices, and accounts payable data allows CFOs to make more informed, strategic decisions.

  • Aligning finance and HR for employee satisfaction: Finance and HR collaboration creates a seamless, employee-friendly expense process, making it a valuable benefit that enhances retention and job satisfaction.
