Improper payments cost the federal government more than $162 billion in a single year—many tied to outdated, fragmented travel and expense (T&E) systems. For agencies navigating shrinking budgets, increased oversight, and evolving audit requirements, it’s no longer just about tracking spend. It’s about preventing errors before they happen.

In this brief, you'll discover:

  • Why traditional T&E processes are putting your agency at risk
  • How AI and automation can help prevent fraud before reimbursement
  • What federal frameworks (like FedRAMP and NIST 800-53) mean for modernization
  • A smarter path to audit readiness—without overburdening employees
