Ryan Announces Integration with Concur® Expense

Meals and Entertainment Deduction Optimization Now Available in the SAP Concur App Center, Delivering Increased Tax Savings and Compliance Efficiency to Clients

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ryan, a leading global tax services and software provider, today launched an integration with Concur^® Expense. This new solution enables organizations to seamlessly optimize their meals and entertainment (M&E) tax deduction calculation by leveraging IRS-approved statistical sampling, directly through their SAP Concur platform.

“Our partnership with SAP Concur represents a major step forward in simplifying tax compliance for our clients,” said Ian Boccaccio, Principal and Income Tax Practice Leader at Ryan. “By integrating with Concur Expense, we’re able to deliver a streamlined, nonintrusive solution that typically increases M&E deductions by an average of 30%, while reducing audit risk and improving compliance.”

The M&E deduction optimization integration addresses a common challenge for tax and finance teams: identifying and classifying deductible M&E expenses across large datasets. Ryan’s solution automates this process using statistical sampling in accordance with IRS Rev. Proc. 2011-42, allowing companies to extrapolate findings from a small sample to their entire M&E population. The result is increased permanent tax deductions, improved cash flow, and enhanced shareholder value.

Concur Expense integrates an organization’s expense data into one solution, providing greater visibility into spend data through a simplified process. M&E deduction optimization is now available in the SAP Concur App Center.
