People that are in the finance section is always love the Excel actually they make it as their partner all the time. But as the time goes by do the spreadsheets are the best thing to use in making your expense reports? But it some other cases if you are working with the big company processing hundreds of reports all the time especially every month that could be tough.
Most of the Companies when it comes to reporting they do it in the manual way but did you know what are the common errors of manual expense management processes?
Losing the paper receipts. It is on the common problem that taking in place. When it comes to paper receipts they are so hassle in the part of the employee they must need to curve out or more to enter all the receipts into the form, a task they put off until the last minute when accounting sends a second or even third reminder to employees to submit monthly expenses. Many times they lose receipts or don't transfer the information correctly. Reports are then submitted without all the necessary documentation, and with more than a few errors.
Incomplete expense reports leads to delay of your reimbursement process this is the result in the reporting because if in the first step have already the error I’m sure in the second phase of the process still it has the errors. If the accountant looks in your report which is a messy spreadsheet with the staple receipt at it feels a sharp pain the eyes. As all we know that finance people love numbers so much but doing it in almost hour and more maybe you are wrong with it. As is have said before common human error is the big factor when you entered the incorrect code of the department and forget the receipts the expense report cannot be processed.
Slow reimbursement process results for unhappy employee. If you are going a business trip sometimes we can’t avoid to put on our credit cards for the business expenses but some of the employees are not so happy if their reimbursement is still pending when the bill arrive.
