Emburse Assurance includes several new AI-powered audit rules, which can be configured to your organization’s needs to eliminate the tedious back and forth between submitter, approvers, and auditors.

Proactive Alerts

Emburse Assurance Proactive Alerts notify employees during receipt capture if an expense may violate company policy, such as missing itemized receipts.

This lets users correct issues immediately, like meal receipts lacking itemized details, reducing rejections and resubmissions.

Real-Time Pre-Submission Feedback

Emburse Assurance Pre-Submission Feedback applies AI checks before reports are submitted for approval. Users must provide explanations for out-of-policy expenses before submitting.

This ensures approvers receive complete context upfront, reducing approval delays and back-and-forth communication.

Emburse Assurance Post-Submission Checks validate submitted expenses for authenticity and data accuracy, and flag potentially fraudulent receipts.

Approvers and auditors gain better visibility into high-risk expenses, enabling faster and more informed decisions with fewer manual interventions.
