What it does

Catches the most common expense fraud pattern: the same receipt submitted across two reports, two cards, or two months. It builds a fingerprint from amount, merchant, and date, matches it against your historical expense ledger, and surfaces suspected duplicates for a human to confirm before payment.

When to use it

Use this when reimbursements run high-volume and reused or split receipts are slipping past line-by-line review. Ideal for teams that want a paper trail of every flagged match and a clear owner for resolving it.

How it works

  1. 1An expense-report-submitted webhook delivers the report and its receipt metadata.
  2. 2A Snowflake lookup pulls the trailing 180 days of reimbursed line items for the same employee and merchant.
  3. 3A logic step computes a similarity fingerprint and flags near-exact amount/merchant/date matches.
  4. 4If no duplicate is found, the report is marked clean and the flow exits.
  5. 5If a likely duplicate is found, a review item is created on the Finance Review board in Monday with both matching charges linked.
  6. 6An Outlook email goes to the submitter asking them to confirm or correct the entry.
