Virtual Assistant Travel Expense Reconciliation: assemble the trip packet

Collect the approved itinerary, booking confirmations, receipts, credits, policy, and approver details. The [service role library](/services) shows related administrative lanes.

Match records line by line

Connect each charge to a traveler, date, purpose, and receipt. Flag currency conversions, missing evidence, cancellations, and duplicate amounts.

Protect financial information

Use approved storage, named accounts, and least-necessary access. The [NIST small business cybersecurity guidance](https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber) provides a useful security baseline.

Route exceptions and close

Send unclear items to the authorized reviewer and preserve the approval trail. The [provider vetting checklist](/provider-vetting) can guide questions about finance-adjacent support controls.
