35 into the firm's othersuchaccounting systems. One solution is an automated expenses
36 management system. Butifthere are various measures you can implement to make

40 regularly up date the firm's expenses policy, and querywithall claims that fall outside it. You
41 should also avoid duplicating effort; if line managers check expenses, there is little point

43 corporate credit cards; making stafftouse their own credit cards encourages them
44 to submit claims on time. It is also a good idea to identify and remind staff who do not
