Market Opportunity:
For enterprises, expense reporting is a significant time sink. Nearly 43 percent of businesses manually check each expense to ensure it aligns with corporate policies. It’s not just lost, late, and erroneous receipts as companies report fraud costs estimated at $2.8 billion per year.
The current status quo is expense report auditors sample 2 to 3 percent of reports submitted. The idea for AppZen is to surface information that’ll lead to “proactive” and “impactful” conversations with repeat offenders and to flag under-the-radar expenses, like spa treatments and gentleman’s clubs, that might otherwise slip through the cracks. Their artificial intelligence platform emulates human intelligence and reasoning, but does so at a scale far more productive and effective than a large team of auditors.
