Short answer

How can I audit global payroll and expenses with my AI?

Your agent uses the Remote MCP to pull invoices and employee expense reports for comparison. It identifies mismatches between what was billed and what was actually spent. You get a structured breakdown of discrepancies to review.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific categories.

MATCHED

Verified transactions

The agent confirms that invoice amounts align with employee expense reports. These are flagged as clean and ready for your records.

MISMATCH

Spending discrepancies

The AI finds where invoice totals don't match the reported expenses. You get a list of these specific gaps to investigate.

MISSING

Unaccounted items

The agent flags invoices that lack corresponding expense reports or vice versa. This highlights gaps in your documentation.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

Any high-risk or ambiguous mismatches are sent to you. The AI stops here so you can make the final call on disputed amounts.
