AI for Good Innovate for Impact

AI-powered systems streamline the employee reimbursement process by automatically
verifying, approving, and processing expense claims related to travel, entertainment, and
operational costs. Traditionally, reimbursements require manual review by finance teams, which
can be time-consuming and error-prone. AI eliminates these inefficiencies by: 4.6: Finance
• Scanning Receipts with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or the employees uploading
receipts or invoices using a mobile app.
• AI extracts relevant details (amount, date, vendor, location) and matches them against
policy rules.
• Validating Company Policies
• If an expense violates a policy, AI flags it and provides a reason for rejection.
• Auto-Approving Standard Claims (If a claim meets all policy criteria, AI approves it instantly
without human intervention)
• Reduces processing time from days to minutes.
• Seamless Integration with Payroll & Finance Systems
• Approved claims are directly processed for reimbursement in the next payroll cycle.
• AI ensures correct tax deductions where applicable.
• Benefits: Faster Reimbursements Employees receive payments promptly, improving
satisfaction.
• Reduced Workload for Finance Teams – No need for manual claim verification.
• Minimized Errors – AI ensures accurate data entry and compliance checks.
• Improved Transparency – Every claim is logged with an audit trail for accountability.
