The Expense Management Tool
The Expense Management Tool (EMT) is targeted for government-wide launch by the end of
the 2006-07 fiscal year.
A pilot phase involving seven departments concluded on June 26, 2006. The next step will be
government-wide implementation in waves. For information, please contact your Senior Full-time Travel Officer
EMT can be used to:
- Research and estimate a trip (select departments only; to be implemented)
- Request and grant travel authorizations (select departments only; to be implemented)
- Complete and process expense claims (select departments only; to be implemented)
EMT benefits include:
- Consistent application of government travel and expense policies via built-in policy rules and links to travel policy information

- Pre-populated travel request data and DTC/DRCTC transactions, reducing the time and effort of completing travel requests and expense reports
- Ability to compare travel requests and expense reports against policies and exceptions
- X.400 e-mail notification to traveller of travel request and expense report status changes, allowing the user to monitor the progress of their request or report
- X.400 e-mail notification to approvers and processors of travel requests and expense reports pending action
- Ability to automatically delegate travel requests and expense reports to another approver in case of absence
