# What will AGI do for Control Maverick Spend?

## Overview

Employees across the organization purchase software subscriptions, services, and hardware outside of approved procurement channels, creating decentralized and invisible expenses known as maverick spend. Finance controllers and procurement teams discover these purchases weeks later during reconciliation, losing the ability to enforce negotiated contracts, vet vendor security, or consolidate overlapping licenses.

The persistence of this problem stems from the high friction of traditional procurement workflows. When purchasing through an ERP or IT ticketing system requires weeks of approvals for a simple SaaS tool, employees bypass the system using corporate cards or personal expense reimbursements. Existing spend management platforms track the transaction after it occurs but fail to guide the employee purchasing behavior at the exact moment of intent.

Organizations are forced to choose between locking down cards completely, which paralyzes departmental agility, or accepting rampant shadow IT and budget leakage. Procurement teams lack a mechanism to enforce compliance without acting as an operational bottleneck, leaving unmanaged capital on the table and exposing the company to unvetted vendor risks.
