The Employee Spend Compliance gap is disrupting tax compliance efforts for organizations worldwide
Data integrity is at harm: Incomplete data and missing procurement checks
23% of expense report items are incorrect for tax purposes. Incomplete mandatory data alongside missing checks and calculations are prolific, streaming through companys’ financial systems, jeopardizing data integrity.
Finance and tax teams are overloaded with manual labor
Finance teams must complete and validate missing information, understand each transaction, and apply country-specific tax rules while documenting the audit trail for authorities. This comes with endless hours of complex manual labor, messy Excel sheets and increased error rates.
Increased Compliance Risk
As purchase and expenditure controls shift away from centralized finance, errors and incomplete data are magnified as traditional checks and approvals are replaced with unstructured financial transactions. Small errors and inaccurate filings soon magnify into significant risk.
Blue dot’s platform helps you understand your employee expense and foreign AP transactions, while empowering finance & tax teams with effortless compliance, creating peace of mind and audit readiness, money is being brought back straight to your business.
