Abstract
Faced with rising costs and added responsibility for the bottom line, accounting professionals today are increasingly turning to software automation to streamline processes and better control spending across a number of important functions. Chief among these are travel and entertainment (T&E) expense reporting and reimbursement. Now, a new survey of more than 600 CFOs, controllers, and accounting professionals identifies the top T&E trends and approaches to expense management for today's small, mid-sized, and enterprise businesses. Mark Brousseau, of Brousseau & Asociates, and Jennifer Steinke, of Dycom Industries, Inc., will discuss what companies are doing to overcome their T&E expense challenges, as well as how you can leverage findings from the survey to improve expense reporting at your company.
Learning objectives include:
- Describe the most common expense technologies and system features used today.
- Explain why “meals” is the leading T&E expense spending category and other benchmarked costs.
- Recognize challenges and opportunities that drive companies to adopt T&E automation.
- Explain methods used to improve employee compliance with travel policy.
