Typically around 10-20 out of every

100 employees conducts expenditure

and should have a card

In some countries and some

companies there is a culture of

suspicion about giving Cards –

perceptions of Misuse arise

Note that the spend hasn’t changed

nor the transactions….but for some

reason Cash and Personal Cards are

deemed – safer

What is the evidence? $10,000,000

tation

Internal

Fraud (not

authorized to

use the card)

External

Fraud (3rd Party

internet / Merchant)

Median $ Per Incident $500 $100 $400

Loss to Organization as % of

T&E Card Spending

0.015% 0.001% 0.059%

Example

For Every $1,000,000 spend is there is no more than $150 of Fraud and Misuse in Total

This occurs 1 in every 650 Travel cards and 1 in every 36,000 Transactions.

Internal Fraud is even lower – 1 in every 3,846 Cards and 1 in every 200,000 Transactions

Cards are safe payment payment instruments – they potentially make misuse / fraud more visible than any

other payment method

Misuse : Evidence?

regions or localized?

Does your company have a mandate to use a specific company-issued credit card for

purchasing, or to pay for such things as travel and entertainment?
