Understanding the Expense Report Audit Process

You use the Auditor's Workbench program to review and approve expense reports that are in these statuses:

• 310: Verify Receipts Required

  The system displays expense reports in this status in blue.

• 320: Audit Required

  The system displays expense reports in this status in red.

  Note: The status Approval Required refers to manager approval, not auditor approval. Managers cannot approve expense reports from the Auditor's Workbench.

  See Approving Expense Reports.

After expense reports have been submitted and, if necessary, approved, they might need to be audited. You specify the types of expenses that require auditing by setting the processing options for Auditor's Workbench (P09E115).

When you audit an expense report, the system displays a checklist that you can use to track the expenses that you have reviewed. If the processing options are set appropriately, expenses that require a receipt or are marked as an exception must be approved (selected) before you can accept the report.

After you complete the checklist, the system displays the expense report details, which you can use to verify or revise expenses before you accept or reject the report.
