John\u2019s company uses fuel cards. Fuel cards are convenient because employees like John can buy fuel with company money.

Fuel Card Fraud Costs Big Money<\/h2>\n

\"fuel<\/p>\n

John might point out that he\u2019s only taking a few dollars here and there.<\/p>\n

That being mentioned, businesses lose tons of money because of people like John. In particular, there are two big costs.<\/p>\n

Fuel slippage.<\/strong> Firstly, fuel theft leads to higher fuel costs. Businesses might employ several \u201cJohns\u201d. Altogether, fuel theft losses add up.<\/p>\n

Accounting resources.<\/strong> Secondly, fuel card fraud has hidden accounting costs. A lot of businesses try fighting against fuel card fraud by auditing fuel purchases. However, in order to audit purchases, businesses spend time and money.<\/p>\n

Using Fuel Card Integration to Reduce Fraud<\/h2>\n

Nowadays, many businesses are avoiding fuel card fraud by automating fuel purchase auditing. One of those companies is Entergy, a publicly listed energy company.<\/p>\n

Entergy uses a process called \u201cfuel card integration\u201d. Fuel card integration<\/a> combines purchasing data with vehicle forensic evidence such as vehicle location and fuel engine levels.<\/p>\n

Fuel card integration eliminates fuel card fraud by flagging suspicious transactions. For instance, consider the following 3 measures.<\/p>\n

\"reduce<\/p>\n

Location & Log<\/h3>\n

Location and log measures a company vehicle\u2019s location and driving hours. Fuel card integration triggers an alert if there is a fuel card purchase but the company vehicle is not in the area.<\/p>\n

This is an extremely useful alert because it targets the most common fuel card fraud where drivers fuel a personal car instead of a company car.<\/p>\n

Fuel Level<\/h3>\n

Fuel level corresponds to changes in a company vehicle\u2019s fuel tank during fuel purchases. There is an alert if an employee uses a fuel card but their company vehicle\u2019s fuel level doesn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n

Fuel level alerts provide an additional protection layer<\/a> because it detects thieves who use fuel cards on an empty jerry can.<\/p>\n

Match<\/h3>\n

Lastly, fuel cards look at match measures. In other words, fuel card integration checks if fuel goes into the correct vehicle.<\/p>\n

This is useful for cutting down on company policy violations where employees use fuel cards for a coworker\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n

Fuel card integration is only one of several fuel card best practices<\/a>. Click here <\/a>to read an article on other best practices.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
