Why spend control is reactive
Expense review usually happens after the money is spent, by sampling. Out-of-policy spend and duplicates slip through and are caught late, if at all.
How Entity controls spend
Agents check every expense and vendor invoice against policy in real time, flag exceptions (out-of-policy, duplicate, unusual), and route them for a decision before they post — 100% coverage, not a sample.
Proactive and logged
Control moves upstream, before spend posts, and every check is logged for audit.
Questions
Does it check every transaction?
Yes — agents check 100% of expenses and vendor spend against policy, rather than sampling a fraction after the fact.
What happens when something is out of policy?
It's flagged and routed for a decision before it posts; nothing is silently approved or rejected.
