Then why are some employees still cheating?
There are, of course, other reasons that could lead to cheating. No less than 37.9% of the people surveyed say that cheating serves to compensate for a badly configured system, this considerably reinforces the idea that the traveler is not dishonest, but does not wish to subsidize the company with his or her own money either. We too often forget that ’business traveler’ is not a profession, but rather the consequence of the profession exercised.
What can we do to minimize cheating?
The ability for the traveler to quickly, efficiently and accurately complete an expense form is key to minimize cheating. The reason people do cheat on their expenses all relate back to their inability; whether due to poor processes or systems, to complete the expense report using an efficient and comprehensive system which enables the organization to quickly and completely reimburse the traveler.
