Every business charge goes on my credit card. The company automatically pays the card. The charges pop up in an accounting system. We really more or less approve the charges as opposed to having to do old fashion expense reports like I did back in the day at a previous employer. The only thing receipts are needed for are hotel stays, but when one pops up in the expense system, I pull it up online. If the hotel charge didn't show in the system, I wouldn't pull it up online, so I'd never notice it was missing.
Got it. Back when I worked in corporate most of the expense stuff was done the old-fashioned way. Most of the time we used our own cards & were reimbursed. One F50 I worked for switched to corp cards - the problem w/ that is that they didn't pay the bills on time (which I discovered when I went to check into a hotel & the corp card was declined
). Of course at this point they might be on the automated system you describe.
Cheers.
