FULL STORY
======================================================================AI 
image generation can create just about anything - include fake receipts False 
receipts generated for expense reports are costing employers Experts warn 
this could only be the start of the problem 

The increasing popularity of image, video, and document generation tools are 
unsurprisingly ushering in a new era of fraud for businesses and consumers 
alike. 

New research has now claimed businesses are seeing an increase in 
AI-generated fake expense receipts which are proving incredibly difficult to 
spot. Expense software platform AppZen noted these AI generated expenses now 
account for 14% of fraudulent documents submitted in September 2025. 

This may not sound like a lot, but is an increase from 0% in 2024.

The findings are seconded by fintech firm Ramp, which claims to have flagged 
over $1 million worth of fraudulent invoices in the last 90 days. 

There have been enough expense scandals to know that false expenses are not 
unheard of, but AI is making them so much more convincing - creating a lot of 
extra work for businesses in verifying them. 

Receipts arent complicated documents, so falsifying them doesnt require any 
particular skill, especially with the help of AI. So much so that human 
reviewers are often unable to distinguish between AI generated receipts and 
real ones. 

These receipts have become so good, we tell our customers, do not trust your 
eyes, said Chris Juneau, senior vice-president and head of product marketing 
for SAP Concur. 

This means, of course, another expense for businesses. Your business may soon 
have to deploy a software that scans the metadata of the receipt submitted - 
although even this can be removed, so theres no clear-cut solution here. 

AI is now being pushed into almost every area of western life, and 
complicating the roles of supervisors worldwide. With millions of students 
even using AI to write their papers that is in some instances undetectable by 
software - this has created an impossible task for teachers and schools. - 
highlighting just how widespread this issue has become. 

With AI becoming increasingly difficult to spot, powering a new era of fraud 
across all industries, its difficult to envision a solution that doesnt 
involve most of the world going back to pen and paper or physical media just 
to prove authenticity.
