Strong compliance doesn't happen by accident — it's built through smart audit rules, clear policy, and proactive enforcement. This article brings together the key resources for building a robust compliance strategy in SAP Concur, including the full T&E Policy Writing Series.
Compliance is more important now than ever before — and there's little room for mistakes that could become big problems down the road. This article covers audit rules, policy development, fraud prevention, and AI-powered compliance tools, organized so you can tackle the area most relevant to where your program is today.
Audit Rules
Audit Rules are automated rules in SAP Concur that flag policy exceptions and guide users toward compliance. When configured well, they reduce errors before reports are submitted, route exceptions to the right reviewers, and surface spending patterns you'd otherwise miss.
Understanding and Building Audit Rules
The Admin Tips series on audit rules provides both foundational context and expert-level configuration guidance:
Admin Tips: Applying Audit Rules — Expert Level Insights — video series covering how to build rules that drive stronger compliance, increase efficiency, and uncover additional insights. Includes: understanding audit rules, getting started, conditional rules, and custom rules.
Understanding SAP Concur Audit Rules — foundational video Q&A covering how audit rules work and best practices for building them, including two community-requested rule walkthroughs.
Professional Edition admins can now use AI to help find, understand, and create custom audit rules using plain language descriptions. See AI Features in SAP Concur Solutions on the Help Portal.
Expense Policy Development
Audit rules enforce your policy — but the policy itself needs to be clear, complete, and appropriate for your organization before enforcement can be effective. The T&E Policy Writing Series from the SAP Concur Admin Group is an eight-part resource that walks you through building a policy from scratch.

An introduction to the policy writing process — what it involves, what to expect, and how to set yourself up for success.
Your expense data tells a story about how your policy is actually performing in the real world — if you know how to read it. This Admin Tips series covers how to use historical spend data to uncover patterns, refine thresholds, and build policies that balance compliance with operational flexibility.
How do you prevent non-compliance before an expense report is even submitted? And how do you detect it after the fact? This video shares practical tips from Lisa Kelley, Senior Value Consultant and former SAP Concur customer:
There are two distinct phases to reducing T&E fraud: prevention (making sure employees know the boundaries) and detection (identifying violations after the fact). This resource covers both:
Automating your T&E process is a significant first step — but establishing a formal expense auditing policy takes compliance to the next level. This document covers how to build that policy:
For organizations using Company Billed Company Paid (CBCP) card programs, personal charges on corporate cards can be difficult to track and recover without the right configuration in place:
