Approvals happen informally with no reliable record of who approved what, at what level, or when. When auditors ask for evidence, the team reassembles it from inboxes and spreadsheets, and gaps in the trail become findings. As the organization grows so does the exposure. ## How it works ### Policy enforced before a commitment is made Spending limits, delegation of authority, and approval tiers are enforced automatically as requests are raised, so off-policy spend is caught before it is committed, not after. ### No single person with unchecked authority over spend Approval authority can be separated from request and payment processing, with a vendor approval process built in. Segregation of duties can be configured, so no single person can request, approve, and pay for the same transaction. ### A continuous audit trail Every purchase, approval, and invoice is logged as it happens, with the supporting documents attached, in one place rather than scattered across systems, inboxes, and personal files. ### Audit-ready records on demand Because records are captured continuously, responding to an audit request is a search, not a project. Evidence is exported on demand, organized, complete, and ready to present without pulling the finance team away from their core work. Compliance simplified ## Keep spending on policy. Stay audit-ready. Fraxion helps ensure every purchase follows your company’s spending policies and approval rules. By guiding employees through the right process and capturing a digital record of every request, approval, purchase, and invoice, Fraxion makes it easier to enforce policies, prevent unauthorized spending, and demonstrate compliance. When it’s time for an audit, you have a complete, traceable record of every transaction.

The real-time visibility ensures nothing slips through the cracks. Our previous controller never had to ask about purchase orders during audits; everything was fully documented. I haven’t had to speak with an auditor in years.

Fraxion is configured to reflect your organization's spend policies, approval hierarchies, and authorization rules, so employee purchasing behavior is guided and governed from the first request. Every approval and supporting document is recorded continuously, so the evidence auditors need is always current, complete, and ready to retrieve. ### What is spend policy compliance in procurement? Spend policy compliance means that every purchase request is automatically evaluated against your organization's defined rules, spending limits, approved vendors, delegation of authority, and approval tiers before a commitment is made. In Fraxion, policies are enforced at the point of request, not monitored after the fact. Off-policy spend is flagged before it reaches approval, eliminating the manual oversight that most organizations rely on to enforce compliance across departments and locations. ### How does Fraxion support an audit? Fraxion maintains a continuous audit trail. Every purchase and expense request, approval decision, PO, goods received note, and invoice is logged automatically with supporting documents attached, in one centralized system. When auditors request evidence, it is retrieved on demand rather than reconstructed from inboxes and spreadsheets. ### What is segregation of duties in spend management? Segregation of duties is a financial control that ensures no single person has unchecked authority over the full purchasing process, from raising a request through to approving and paying it. In Fraxion, approval authority is structurally separated from request creation and payment processing, with a formal vendor approval process built in. This reduces the risk of fraud, unauthorized spend, and errors that occur when one person controls the end-to-end transaction. ### Is our financial data secure? Yes. Fraxion is SOC 2 certified, hosted on Microsoft Azure (FedRAMP-approved infrastructure), with MFA and SSO via Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or any SAML 2.0 provider, role-based access, and complete audit logging. Data is stored in your jurisdiction, North America or Europe, and pen-test reports are available under NDA. ### How does Fraxion enforce spend policies across multiple departments and locations? Spend policies, approval hierarchies, and spending limits are configured centrally in Fraxion and applied automatically across every department, location, and entity, regardless of who raises the request or where. ### How long does implementation take? Most implementations go live within three months. A Fraxion implementation consultant guides you through each step. ## Take control of compliance before auditors find the gaps Fraxion builds compliance into every transaction, so policies are enforced before money is committed, records are always complete, and audit evidence is ready when it is needed.
