Expense review policy

Policy ID: AP-104.

Apply this policy to invoices, expense receipts, and service contracts.

Invoices and expenses

• Read the entire invoice, including the vendor and every line item.
• Extract every line item's quantity and unit price before calculating. Check the extracted list against every source line; an empty list is an error, not a zero subtotal.
• Use Python's decimal.Decimal to multiply quantities by unit prices and sum the line totals. Compare this subtotal with the printed subtotal, then add shipping to calculate the total.
• Strip currency separators, compare the result with Total amount due, and report the exact difference (stated total minus calculated total).
• Require a purchase order or another documented approval.
• Flag missing receipts, unsupported charges, and changed payment instructions.
• Escalate incorrect totals and unverified changes to bank details.

Contracts

• Read every clause and report all matching risks, even when one already requires escalation.
• Flag automatic renewals and restrictive cancellation windows.
• Flag unilateral price increases and missing liability limits.
• Escalate customer-data sharing or subcontractor access without approval.
• Identify missing confidentiality, security, or termination terms.

Review decision

• needs_info: Required documentation or supporting information is missing.
• escalated: Fraud indicators, financial discrepancies, or risky terms need review.
• ready_for_approval: No policy violations remain, but a human must still approve.
