Short answer

Can I use my AI to audit Unanet timesheets and expenses?

Yes. Your AI client uses the Unanet MCP to scan for unsubmitted timesheets and pull expense reports for specific projects. You'll get a clear list of what's missing or needs review.

Audit outcomes

Where your audit data lands.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific categories.

PENDING

Missing timesheets

The AI identifies users who haven't submitted their hours. You get a list of names and the specific periods they missed.

RECONCILIATION

Expense report pulls

Your agent pulls specific expense data for a project. This helps you match actual costs against your budget.

DISCREPANCIES

Data mismatches

The AI compares timesheet totals against project requirements. It flags entries that look wrong or incomplete.
