Accountants struggle to obtain sufficient transaction support from high-volume clients, leading to thousands of unsupported expenses accumulated in clearing accounts and creating material risk in the financial records.

Existing tools rely on clients proactively providing documentation, but there is no automated system to chase missing receipts, enforce compliance, or flag material unsupported balances before they become critical.
