The service uses AI to automate expense report auditing and instantly detect compliance issues and fraud. AppZen’s patented AI is able to automatically read and understand expense reports, receipts, and travel documents and cross-check them with hundreds of data sources in real-time to determine the accuracy and legitimacy of every expense. This enables companies to detect fraud and compliance issues in real-time.
