With a few ongoing expense and travel fraud scandals happening in the U.S. government, I got to wondering: Are employees really trying to game the expense system in ridiculous ways?

Well, no. Most of the time, employees are either screwing up when they ask to be reimbursed for more than they spend, or they are engaged in a high-stakes yet low-reward game to milk a few hundred extra dollars out of their company over the course of the year.

Things like genuine corruption and asset mismanagement are much bigger threats to a company's bottom-line than the employee who wants $20 back for buying a $9 burrito. New tools, however, are emerging that will automatically catch employees who try something fishy, making it harder in the future to overcharge for expenses or make random purchases with the company card.

I also wrote a giant essay for our latest Skift Global Forum magazine on the post-experience economy, for you deep thinkers out there. Let me know how wrong (or right) you think I am.
