One of the most difficult yet important tasks of a business is managing its employees’ expenses, especially the process of reconciliation. For many organizations, manually reconciling several receipts with matching transactions recorded in corresponding bank statements or corporate cards is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, filled with room for errors. Automating the same minimizes the amount of manual work and helps in increasing the accuracy and speed of the approval process.
For businesses, financial reconciliation is an essential practice that ensures the accuracy of financial statements by comparing internal records with external bank statements, corporate card transactions, or other financial sources. Effective reconciliation ensures:
For larger organizations managing multiple accounts, reconciliation presents unique challenges
Manual Errors : Human intervention in reviewing and comparing transactions increases the chances of errors.
Time-Consuming Process : Reconciling large volumes of transactions, especially in enterprises, consumes a considerable amount of time and resources.
Fragmented Systems : Businesses have different financial tools, which may not be integrated, making it harder to consolidate data.
Such challenges call for innovative solutions, like an Expense Management Application that can simplify reconciliation, improve accuracy and save time.
Zaggle’s Expense Management Solution (EMS) simplifies reconciliation with its Auto Reconciliation feature. Here’s how it works:
1. Receipt Upload : Employees upload receipts through the Zaggle App.
2. Auto-Categorization : Zaggle's AI models, layered on top of OCR tooling, intelligently assign a spend-category based on the information in the uploaded receipt. This is further used as one of the criteria in matching with transaction feed from the bank. This deters your employees from attaching irrelevant bills to expense claims.
3. Automatic Reconciliation: The system searches for a matching transaction from the company’s card feed or bank statements. If the receipt matches a card swipe, the system reconciles it automatically.
4. Flagging for Approval: Expenses that have already been approved are flagged in the system, making it easier for managers to quickly approve them, compared to manual reconciliation.
5. Compliance & Reporting: The system ensures that all reconciled expenses comply with the company’s policy and flags discrepancies for review, maintaining strict control over spending.
The new Auto Reconciliation Feature in Zaggle EMS addresses several key benefits:
While auto-reconciliation streamlines expense tracking, the Smart Audit Suite takes it one step further. Our AI-Powered audit system provides an additional layer of verification and security to prevent fraud and ensure compliance.
Here’s how it works:
AI Powered Text Recognition: Our advanced AI language models read through scanned receipts and contextualize each expense. Through this, we:
Confidence Scoring: Our AI-OCR model assigns a confidence score to each scan, flagging unclear receipts for review. If the receipt is unclear due to low-quality scans or non-standard formats, the employee is prompted for further clarification.
Employee Edit Detection: If an employee edits the OCR autofill, the change is flagged for review. This ensures that approving managers are alerted to any potential inaccuracies or fraudulent behavior.
Duplication Detection: Our system prevents employees from submitting the same supporting document for multiple claims, helping to reduce duplicate claims fraud. This feature works even if the bill has been slightly cropped or slightly modified.
Rich Data Extraction: We extract a wealth of information from each receipt and make it easily accessible to employees. This ensures that employees can quickly submit accurate claims without worrying about issues related to compliance.
