Scott Lane Chief Executive Officer The Red Flag Group

The Red Flag Group, a leading anti-corruption compliance consultancy firm, has announced that its ComplianceDesktop Technology Platform is now integrated into the Concur T&E Cloud.

Now companies can seamlessly link ComplianceDesktop’s gifts, travel and entertainment (GTE) tracking  and approval system with the Concur T&E expense management system,  delivering more effective implementation and monitoring of compliance  with anti-corruption policies across their global operations.

“Gift-giving and entertainment have come under increased scrutiny due to legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Anti-Bribery Act. Corporate policies setting out clear limits are  becoming commonplace, however, these policies can often be complex and  difficult to communicate and monitor across a global workforce,” said  Scott Lane, Chief Executive Officer of The Red Flag Group. “By integrating the ComplianceDesktop Technology Platform with Concur we  allow companies to link together their pre-approval process for all GTE  expenses with the Concur expense management system, ensuring they are in  compliance with corporate policies and significantly reducing the risk  of bribery and corruption.”
 
The integration of the ComplianceDesktop Technology Platform with  Concur allows users to:

• implement a more efficient process for the pre-approval of gifts,  travel and entertainment
• enforce monetary value limits across an entire organisation, with the flexibility of varying these by group or region
• easily identify any non-compliant requests or expense claims that require further investigation
• track all payments in a secure system with a full audit trail for  robustcompliance.

“Concur is trusted by thousands of organisations globally – including  half of the Fortune 500 – to help them manage all aspects of travel and entertainment spend,” said Tim MacDonald, EVP of Platform and Data  Services at Concur. “The integrated solution from Concur and The Red  Flag Group helps all companies comply with compliance regulations and  corporate policies around GTE with one unified audit trail.”
