# Policy Manager

**Policies** define clear and specific guidelines for employees regarding what expenses are allowed, disallowed, or subject to certain conditions. For example, there might specify spending limits, categories of allowable expenses, and documentation requirements. These **policies **help ensure that expenses are managed in accordance with the company's rules, industry regulations, and best practices. 

By setting spending limits and restrictions, policies help control costs and prevent excessive or unauthorized spending. ExpensePoint™ automates **policy** checks, flagging or blocking expenses that violate policy rules. This helps prevent policy breaches before they occur. 

**Policies **can dictate the approval hierarchy for expense reports, specifying who needs to approve expenses at different levels, such as managers, department heads, or finance teams. Learn more about the **Workflow Manager **in this article. 

The **Policy Manager **will allow you to view or manage your organization’s **policies** for Submitters’ **Expense Reports**.  

To get to the **Policy Manager**, click on the **Policy Manager **module from the top of your ExpensePoint™ app.
