TRAVEL MISTAKE AND FRAUD DETECTION
In some example implementations, there is provided a method for mistake and fraud detection. The method may include receiving, at an expense management system, an item for reimbursement; processing, based on one or more rules, the received item to detect whether additional processing including auditing is to be performed on the received item; comparing the received item to one or more attributes obtained from metadata containing travel-related information from a plurality of users and a plurality of tenants of a multi-tenant system; and sending an indication of whether the received item is at least one of approved for payment or a mistake based on the results of the comparing. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also provided.
1 . A non-transitory computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at an expense management system, an item for reimbursement;
processing, based on one or more rules, the received item to detect whether additional processing including auditing is to be performed on the received item;
comparing the received item to one or more attributes obtained from metadata containing travel-related information from a plurality of users and a plurality of tenants of a multi-tenant system; and
sending an indication of whether the received item is at least one of approved for payment or a mistake based on the results of the comparing.
2 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the item comprises one or more travel expenses.
3 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the metadata further includes third-party information for a date when the item occurred.
4 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 3 , wherein the third-party information includes at least one of weather information, travel information, and exchange rate information.
5 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving, at the expense management system, an indication to allow sharing expense information among the plurality of users and the plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant system.
6 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 5 further comprising:
providing, to the multi-tenant system, the expense information, when allowed by the indication.
7 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the multi-tenant system includes at least a repository including the metadata shared among the plurality of tenants.
8 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the one or more rules include determining at least one of whether the item is received with a handwritten receipt, whether the item is received with a receipt, whether the item is for an amount exceeding a predetermined threshold.
9 . The non-transitory computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the comparing is performed, when the processing, based on the one or more rules, detects the additional processing.
10 . A method comprising:
receiving, at an expense management system, an item for reimbursement;
processing, based on one or more rules, the received item to detect whether additional processing including auditing is to be performed on the received item;
comparing the received item to one or more attributes obtained from metadata containing travel-related information from a plurality of users and a plurality of tenants of a multi-tenant system; and
sending an indication of whether the received item is at least one of approved for payment or a mistake based on the results of the comparing, wherein the expense management system comprises at least one programmable processor.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the item comprises one or more travel expenses.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the metadata further includes third-party information for a date when the item occurred.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the third-party information includes at least one of weather information, and travel information, exchange rate information.
14 . The method of claim 10 further comprising:
receiving, at the expense management system, an indication to allow sharing expense information among the plurality of users and the plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant system.
15 . The method of claim 14 further comprising:
providing, to the multi-tenant system expense management system, the expense information, when allowed by the indication.
16 . A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at an expense management system, an item for reimbursement;
processing, based on one or more rules, the received item to detect whether additional processing including auditing is to be performed on the received item;
comparing the received item to one or more attributes obtained from metadata containing travel-related information from a plurality of users and a plurality of tenants of a multi-tenant system; and
sending an indication of whether the received item is at least one of approved for payment or a mistake based on the results of the comparing.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the item comprises one or more travel expenses.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the metadata further includes third-party information for a date when the item occurred.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the third-party information includes at least one of weather information, and travel information, exchange rate information.
20 . The system of claim 16 further comprising:
receiving, at the expense management system, an indication to allow sharing expense information among the plurality of users and the plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant system.
