Expense reimbursement

.

The Expense Management Tool enables all EPFL employees to manage the entire travel and expense management and validation process in an integrated, dematerialized and automated way. The main advantages are:

  • A clear process for all employees.
  • A complete view of the expenses incurred for each trip and, therefore, a more transparent process.
  • Fast and accurate cost accounting.
  • A dematerialized process.
  • An early validation of the trips, with a financial commitment on the relevant fund.
