## Overview

Guided reviews leverage Brex AI and allow account admins and card admins to easily find expenses that should have a closer inspection before approving. These expenses will be flagged in both your dashboard's _Expenses_ page and _Tasks > Expenses._  
  
A flagged expense doesn’t automatically mean the expense should be denied, or that the employee was acting maliciously. It simply indicates that a closer review is recommended.  
  
Expenses are flagged with the following icon in the expenses table. When you click on the transaction, you’ll see a banner explaining why the expense was flagged.

Expenses are flagged based on a combination of defined risk rules and a machine learning model that scans for anomalous spend — such as a reimbursement submitted for a higher amount than what’s listed on the receipt. If you have access to the policy rule builder, an expense might be flagged for review based on your policy as well. Read more in[ this article.](https://www.brex.com/policy-rule-builder)

## Reviewing flagged expenses

When an expense is flagged, it means Brex or your admin needs more information before the expense can be closed out. Flagged expenses appear under _Expenses_ and _Tasks > Expenses_ in the dashboard, and opening one shows a banner explaining why it was flagged. If you think an expense was flagged in error, ask your account admin or card admin to review it manually.
