Account Analysis
Our methodical approach to travel management goes far beyond just issuing

management process is a complete analysis of your account.
We take the time to understand each client's business goals and budgets
and look at every element of the travel process. Our comprehensive corporate

indirect organizational costs. The result is a complete report with
recommendations.

Travel Accountability
The effects of ever-tightening accounting rules, tax code changes and
legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) are impacting even mid-size,
privately companies.
Travel is one of the largest controllable expenses and provides a big
opportunity for discrepancies for many companies. Management needs to know
how much is being spent on travel and where it is being spent. The days of
operating without clear policies in place for spending and reporting travel
are over.
End-to-End Audit Trail
Many of the recent law and tax code changes require companies to
implement an end-to-end audit trail. We have the know-how and integrated
technology in place that monitors travel policy, exception management and
provides the comprehensive reporting needed to meet demanding documentation
requirements.
Travel Benchmarking
Travel benchmarking provides Safe Harbors' clients authoritative data to
compare actual travel expenses with other Safe Harbors' accounts and
aggregated data from industry tracking authorities. Travel expense
benchmarking is a valuable tool in evaluating trends as well as budget
planning.
- Identify and evaluate additional savings opportunities
- Improve forecasting accuracy and the budget planning
- Validate travel strategy and policy decisions
- Communicate travel program performance more authoritatively
