I'd like to start using the random audit function within Concur, but I have a couple of questions before I switch it on. First, if I choose a percentage, how is that determined? Is it based on an average of our monthly submission numbers? Weekly? Daily? I'm just trying to get an idea of how many additional reports I'm going to end up looking at!
Also, do users get an email notice to state that their report has been chosen for a random audit, or would they just see that status if they go in to check their report status?
Thanks!

Solved! Go to Solution.
The percentage is determined at the time the report is submitted and the system uses a random number generator to determine what is random and what is not.
Suppose you set your random percentage to be 20%. When the user submits, the random number generator spits out a number form 1 to 100. If the number is from 1 to 20 you are in the 20% and selected at random. If the number is from 21 to 100 you are not selected at random.
A few useful notes:
I hope this helps.
The process works well. We set our percentage and random reports come into the processor queue daily for review. We also have specific audit rules that route expense reports for review (high cash, international, etc). If you find that too many reports are coming in for audit, you can adjust your percentage.
Associates do not get an email informing them that their report is selected for audit.
Thank you! Do you have any idea what the percentage is based on?

Thank you, Grant! I am pretty sure that I attended a session at Fusion on Audit Rules that you were hosting, which is where I first heard about the Random option. I really appreciate you providing these details.
