Hosted by Carl Thompson, Solutions Consultant

Scaling expense audit across a global shared services function means keeping audit quality consistent when every business unit operates differently. When that audit relies on manual review, decentralised teams, and heavy manager involvement in the approval chain, coverage is inconsistent and compliance risks go undetected.

Join this session as AppZen customers, Albert Gasulla Vila, GPO managing Travel, Expense, Corporate Credit Cards Administration and Fleet at Bayer, and Filip VandeVelde, Manager of T&E Compliance Analytics at Tetra Pak, share how they moved to a standardised, risk-based T&E audit function and what that shift made possible across their GBS operations.

What we'll cover:

• Why manual, decentralised audit processes create coverage gaps at global scale

• How to standardise expense audit across multiple geographies, entities, and policies

• Managing regional compliance requirements, including HCP, anti-bribery, Sapin II, and EStG

• The shift from blanket review to risk-based audit, and what it means for GBS teams day-to-day

• Building the business case for AI-powered expense audit with executive stakeholders
