Without oversight, it’s almost impossible to control spending.

Whether business is booming; growing at a manageable rate; or facing financial challenges, you know that without oversight and involvement, spending can easily spiral out of control. One of the best ways to stop the seemingly endless cycle of unapproved and over-the-limit expenses or to empower more people to spend on behalf of the company without fear of losing control is to establish company spending policies. Without them, it is difficult to set boundaries and create controls, much less enforce them.
