The standing prompt
You're reviewing this week's flagged expense exceptions from Expensify for [PERIOD]. Here is the list: [FLAGGED_ITEMS]. For each item, note whether it looks like a genuine policy violation or a likely coding error. Draft a short two-sentence email to the relevant employee explaining what's needed to resolve it, grouped by employee. Keep the tone professional and brief. At the end, write a one-paragraph summary for the finance director covering total flagged spend and the highest-risk items.

What it will not do

it will not decide whether a borderline expense is legitimate business use, that judgment call stays with you. it will not chase employees who ignore the first email, someone still has to follow up. it will not know about a verbal exception your manager approved outside the system, you have to log that yourself. it will not resolve a vendor dispute over a wrong invoice amount, that still needs a phone call.

Done when

Friday's approval report reaches the finance director's queue with every invoice matched to a PO and no policy flag older than two days sitting unresolved.
