Personal Expense
Personal expenses are non-business costs, like personal meals or leisure activities, ineligible for reimbursement even during business trips. The platform uses AI and policy rules to flag these expenses, alerting employees to correct submissions. Mixed receipts can be split to claim only business portions, ensuring accuracy. Personal expenses are logged for compliance but excluded from reimbursement totals. Tracking repeated violations helps identify misuse patterns. This maintains fair reimbursements, prevents policy abuse, and ensures accurate financial records for audits.
