Increase organizational trust through Concur.

Our whole organization uses it to reconcile expenses incurred for ministry use. (We are a ministry to college students.) Concur allows us to get an accurate financial picture for each department quickly. Once the expenses have been cleared and approved, they show up in budget reports we can use for future planning.

We run reports from Peoplesoft based on what expenses our employees have submitted in Concur. Once the reports are approved, we can see real-time financial reporting for each chart field we have set up. Our controller, finance team members, and others of us in management count on this to help drive budget decisions and pivot as needed. We can also easily tell if someone has gone over budget on a trip or project.

It has increased our capacity in the financial realm. We don't need to waste time figuring out where we are financially because that info is at our fingertips. We can spend our time and energy dreaming and planning for the future instead of trying to figure out where each department is with its budget. We are also able to better analyze where our funds are going and if that is the best use of our funds.

While not everyone likes to reconcile and submit their reports, it means there is a high level of financial accountability, which is important in any business and organization. Expenses can't be hidden or swept under the rug. Knowing that everyone from the president to a new team member has to follow the same process and report the same way leads to higher organizational trust.
