Three Link Solutions launches ExpenseGuard app to detect expense report fraud and anomalies in Workday

Three Link Solutions has launched ExpenseGuard, a Workday Marketplace app designed to detect expense report anomalies and analyse risk levels automatically. The app helps finance and audit teams identify high-risk expense reports by flagging potential mistakes or fraudulent activities across expense types, departments, and individuals. ExpenseGuard addresses asset misappropriation, the most common form of workplace fraud, which often involves expense report schemes. The app provides streamlined workflows for reviewing flagged transactions and dashboards for drilling into specific risk areas. "We developed ExpenseGuard as an additional safeguard against fraudulent activities or mistakes that can slip through the cracks," said Greg Knowlton, founding partner of Three Link Solutions. The app integrates with Workday Financial Management, helping customers reduce manual review cycles whilst improving audit readiness and expense approval accuracy.
