  13. What can you expect from your card provider? Card Benefits and Features

  14. Card Controls This feature provides the ability to limit or block Cardholder purchases made by Merchant Category Codes (MCC). This feature has the option of restricting card usage to specific merchant types such as hotels, restaurants or office supplies. MCC Restrictions Ability to limit purchases to specific vendors and locations or block expenditures by specific supplier and location. This feature was developed at the request of corporate clients wanting to maximize arrangements on blanket orders and to allow high value transaction purchasing. Specific Supplier Blocking

  15. Protecting Against Fraud & Misuse Card number and expiry passed through authorization system for accuracy, Card Validation Code (CVC) is passed and evaluated, status of card (open, closed, suspended) and available credit is checked. The authorization will be denied if any of these evaluations fail and merchant may be asked to retain card. Merchant requests Cardholder to provide identification to validate authenticity If authorization successfully passes card validation, authorization system recognizes the commercial card type, and evaluates the transaction against any organization card controls. The authorization will be denied if the transaction evaluation fails any of the pre-set controls. Authorizations undergo sophisticated review for indications of possible fraudulent use. Many fraud systems are a stand-alone platform which receives and stores real-time feed of transactional authorization responses and submits each incoming transactional authorization to a comprehensive evaluation process. All attempts to authorize a transaction on a card product pass through four distinct processes: Card Validation Physical Evaluation Card Blocking & Controls Early Fraud Detection Evaluation Commercial Cards provide significantly less risk than other methods of payment than an organization may have in place today.

  21. Expense Management Technology Best Practice #1: Automate Expense Capture

  22. The Argument Against “Free” • A manual expense report costs between $20.18 - $51.35 to process • An optimally automated expense report is significantly less to process, ranging between $6.25 - $7.60 • A manual invoice process is between $14.04 - $16.67 per invoice • An automated invoice is again significantly less • ranging between $3.34 - $8.32 • Partially automated processes provide some cost savings but significantly less than optimally automated processes Source = PayStream Advisors

  23. Automatic Expense Capture - Example

  24. Simplify Receipt Capture Snap and Send

  25. Expense Management Technology Best Practice #2: Have an Accountable Plan

  26. What is it and why is it important? An Accountable Plan is an employee reimbursement allowance arrangement or method for reimbursing employees for business travel expenses that complies with IRS regulations. If you cannot demonstrate that you have an Accountable Plan, expense reimbursements may be considered taxable income and 1099s must be provided to the employees incurring the expenses!

  27. Basics of an Accountable Plan According the IRS: • The expense must have a business connection • Expenses must be submitted in a timely manner • Overpayment of expenses must be returned in a timely manner

  28. Accountable Plan - Further Clarification • An advance received within 30 days of the time the expense is incurred • Expenses are adequately accounted for within 60 days after they are paid or incurred • Excess reimbursements (anything paid over and above the allowable amounts) are returned within 120 days • An employee provides an adequate accounting of outstanding advances within 120 days of receiving a periodic statement

  29. Accountable Plan - Further Clarification - Example

  30. Expense Management Technology Best Practice #3: Automate Policy Enforcement

  31. Business Rules Engine • Configurable Expense Policies • Configurable Approval Routing Rules • Configurable Tax Rules, etc.

  32. Example - Built in Compliance Rules

  33. Example - Client Specific Compliance Rules

  34. Expense Management Technology Best Practice #4: Have a Clear Approval Process

  35. Suggestions for Approval Process • Consider roles and responsibilities • Consider how many levels of approval something truly needs • Would some expenses be best suited for Pre-Approvals? • Where do you want Finance in the process? • Re-think your expense audit practices • Let the system do the ‘dirty work’ whenever possible

  36. The Value of Automated Approval Workflow • Remember the Business Rules Engine at work? • By automating the process, you can now have approvals that are triggered by specific compliance issues. • This eliminates the need to audit 100% of 100% • A much better use of valuable high-level approvers’ time.

  37. Consider Mobile Approval Methods Approval on the go!

  38. Expense Management Best Practice #5: Go Green - Eliminate Checks

  39. Streamline your Payment Process • Direct ACH payments now the norm • Less potential for fraud and duplicate payments • More efficient, less work for A/P • For BOTH employee reimbursements and vendors

  40. Other Benefits • Cost savings • No more paper checks and manual processes = savings • Efficiency • More timely payments • Enhanced Compliance
