Expense Reporting Policy

Expense Reporting Requires Compliance

With ExpenseVisor, each business expense report can incorporate it's own set of expense reporting policy compliance statements. You can also incorporate company guidelines and your complete travel and entertainment expense reporting handbook online and have it available online for each employee.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) is part of current business for U.S. public corporations. Compliance is essential to maintaining shareholder confidence and avoiding penalties. In the U.S. SOX is the most important corporate governance and disclosure legislation in over 70 years.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates company management must demonstrate that adequate internal controls exist to ensure compliance in the accuracy of all financial reporting.

How Does ExpenseVisor Help With Expense Policy Compliance?
