Card reconciliation is the process of verifying that every corporate card transaction appearing in Zoho Expense has a corresponding approved expense report entry. It ensures no charges are unaccounted for and that the amounts in the expense system match the card statement from the bank.
Zoho Expense provides a reconciliation view where finance teams can see all imported card transactions alongside their matched expense entries. Transactions without a matching expense report entry are highlighted as unreconciled. The team can then contact the relevant employee, create the missing expense entry, or flag the transaction for investigation.
Without reconciliation, companies may pay card bills that include personal or fraudulent charges that were never submitted or reviewed. Regular reconciliation in Zoho Expense prevents leakage, ensures policy compliance, and keeps the books accurate. It also simplifies audits by providing a clear match between bank records and internal expense records.
Most organisations perform card reconciliation monthly, aligning with the card billing cycle. However, high-volume teams may reconcile weekly. Zoho Expense makes frequent reconciliation practical by showing unmatched transactions in real time rather than requiring a month-end batch review.
Yes. Zoho Expense uses the transaction date, amount, and merchant name to suggest matches between card transactions and existing expense entries. Employees can confirm the suggested match or manually link a different entry if the auto-match is incorrect.
