Sixthfin, a financial data control and financial close technology company with offices in London and Paris, launched T&E Controls (Travel & Expense Controls), its new solution for Finance, Audit and Internal Control departments, on 6 October 2026. Designed to complement existing expense management tools, T&E Controls analyses 100% of expense claims over time and reconciles them with the general ledger. The goal is to detect duplicates, recurring anomalies, high risk behaviours and approval failures that can slip past transaction-by-transaction controls.

Expense management tools have largely automated the verification of an expense at the time it is entered, as well as the line-manager approval process. Some weaknesses, however, only appear at the scale of the overall system. Submission or accounting anomalies, approvals granted without genuine review, recurring delegations and ignored alerts can go unnoticed when expenses are reviewed one transaction at a time. Expense reports also involve a high volume of claims, often hundreds each month and usually for small individual amounts, so manual controls are typically limited to spot checks on small samples, with no guarantee of covering high risk situations. Across multiple entities, currencies and approvers, those weaknesses are difficult to identify through manual sampling. An approved expense claim is not necessarily a controlled one: approval confirms that a claim was signed off, while post-approval expense control tests whether the approval framework, the spending behind it and its accounting treatment hold up across every claim.

T&E Controls looks across months, employees and entities rather than at each claim in isolation.
