Expenses, Travel and Reimbursement Fraud Prevention

Travel and expense claims are a low value high frequency fraud channel that quietly drains budgets in many African organisations. This course shows finance and audit teams how inflated, duplicated, fictitious and personal expense claims are made and hidden. Delegates learn to design a tight claims policy, review supporting documents and use analytics to catch abuse before payment.
