This “Routine” Process Could Be Hurting Your Bottom Line ⬇️ A process that seems routine might actually be putting your organization’s bottom line at risk. In payroll, we see it all: • Inflated receipts • Duplicate submissions • Reimbursements for canceled or personal expenses In most cases, these issues are not intentional fraud but result from gaps in process, visibility, and enforcement.
