Abstract
Embodiments of an expense validator extract from an expense receipt object expense event data that includes identification of an expense entity, a geographic location, a time of the expense event, a person authorized to submit a claim for expenses to an expense management system, and another person that is associated to the authorized person as an attendee of the expense event. The embodiments acquire proof-of-location data at a time period inclusive of the expense event time from a first mobile device that is associated with the authorized person; determine from the acquired proof-of-location data indirect proof-of-location data indicative of attendance of the other person at the expense event geographic location during expense event time; and validate a submission of the expense receipt object as a function of the proof-of-location data.
