Two-Factor Authentication
Adds an extra verification step for signers via SMS or authenticator apps to increase assurance about signer identity and reduce risk of unauthorized attestations on expense submissions.
Using forged receipts creates significant compliance exposure, undermines trust, and can trigger legal penalties; HR functions should rely on traceable, verifiable document workflows and signed attestations to maintain audit-ready records.
An HR Manager establishes expense policies, trains staff on acceptable documentation, and oversees reimbursement approvals. They coordinate with finance to verify receipts, escalate suspected fraud, and maintain a defensible audit trail for internal and external reviews.
A Compliance Officer develops controls to detect document tampering, reviews escalations, and ensures investigations follow regulatory and legal standards. They document findings and recommend process changes to reduce future incidents and legal exposure.
HR teams, payroll administrators, internal audit, and compliance officers commonly manage receipt validation and expense controls.
These groups coordinate to detect discrepancies, maintain policies, and ensure records meet legal and audit requirements.

HR-specific templates capture required fields for expense claims and attestations, reducing omitted information and standardizing records for more effective review and automated reconciliation.
Allows HR or finance teams to distribute the same attestation or policy update to many employees simultaneously, collecting signatures and responses while maintaining individual audit trails.
APIs enable automated ingestion of receipts, pushing validated records into payroll, ERP, or expense management systems to simplify reconciliation and reduce manual entry errors.
Workflows with conditional routing escalate items that meet risk criteria—such as high-value claims—so appropriate approval and verification steps occur before reimbursement.
Secure cloud archival with configurable retention schedules preserves audit evidence, supports compliance with tax and labor rules, and ensures consistent access for authorized reviewers.
Comprehensive, tamper-evident logs capture signer identity, timestamps, IP addresses, and document version history to support audits and legal review for expense records.
Reusable expense and attestation templates standardize required fields, reduce submission errors, and ensure consistent evidence collection for each reimbursement request.
Prebuilt connectors with accounting systems, Google Workspace, and cloud storage simplify receipt ingestion, reconciliation, and long-term archival with consistent metadata.
APIs enable automation of receipt capture, attestation collection, and push of validated records into HRIS or expense management systems for streamlined workflows.

An employee submitted an altered Amazon receipt to claim non-business purchases as reimbursable, creating an investigative workload for HR and finance teams.
Resulting in a measurable decrease in fraudulent claims, simplified audit processes, clearer evidence chains for internal investigations and external auditors, and documented policy enforcement that supported corrective actions without legal exposure.
A vendor uploaded duplicate or modified receipt images when reconciling invoices, causing payment reconciliation failures for accounts payable.
Leading to faster resolution of suspicious claims, improved vendor accountability, stronger compliance posture, reduced reconciliation cycle times, and better documented evidence for any subsequent audits or recoveries.
