Case Study: Pace University achieves 100% elimination of manual auditing and 50%+ faster audits with Emburse Audit (Emburse)

Pace University centralizes expense auditing with Emburse Audit

Pace University, a private university serving about 13,000 students, faced a growing workload in accounts payable as a legacy Emburse customer processing roughly 1,000 expense reports and credit card reconciliations each month. With their Emburse expense solution disconnected from a third‑party audit tool, AP spent more than 10 hours monthly on manual audits, spot‑checking, and resolving false positives, and had to manually audit about 25% of submissions.

Emburse implemented Emburse Audit — a fully integrated, machine‑learning‑backed solution with tech‑assisted human auditors — to centralize rules and automate exception handling. Emburse Audit eliminated 100% of manual auditing, reduced spot‑checking by 75%, and cut audit time by more than half, while independent auditors worked directly with employees to resolve issues and drive better receipt submission and end‑user ownership.
