Travel Expenses
How much does your company spend on travel? Even small firms are finding that their travel and entertainment budget can account for between five and six per cent of operating costs. For large multi–national companies the costs can be even higher.
In fact many firms have no clear idea of how much they are spending on sending executives to international conferences (1).
Claudion Rossi, a Milan–based travel consultant, has spent the past year looking at the ways companies deal with their travel expenses. “Very few of the companies I studied could tell me exactly how much they were spending on travel. Only one or two had thought about introducing a system to control expenses.”
Mr Rossi gives the example of TransEurop ASP, a Danish transport company. “Everyone I spoke to in the firm assured me that regular trips abroad were a vital part of the work of senior executives. Nobody asked themselves if all this travel was necessary and nobody seemed to know how much it was costing the firm.”
In fact when Mr Rossi sat down with TransEurop’s chief accountant they found that travel and entertainment costs together came to a staggering $2.2m in a year. (2)
Mr Rossi claims that every medium–sized and large company needs a clear policy on controlling its travel costs. He proposes a four–point plan which companies can introduce over a period of six months to a year.
-
Travel expenses audit. Begin by asking yourself how the company spends its travel budget at the moment. How much are we spending? How are expense claims processed? (3) Where can we make the biggest cost savings?
-
Setting up a policy. Once you have decided how much the company can afford to spend you can begin putting your ideas into action. The plan should involve the company’s main travel suppliers – travel agents and airlines – as well as those executives who have to travel most frequently.
-
Managing the policy. For larger firms this could mean appointing a full–time travel manager who would be responsible for controlling travel costs and for communicating the policy to other people in the company. This is not a feasible option for most small companies.
-
Policy review. From time to time you might need to change your policy to take account of any new offers in the travel market. Many airlines now offer special deals for companies with frequent travellers. (4)
