Reasonable diligence should be performed prior to submission to Concur of a lead to ensure it is not a Government Entity. Examples of such diligence include but are not limited to the following. When in doubt, please consult a professional within your organization.

1. Inquire of the management-level contact you have at the entity (e.g., the person that would be listed on the Concur electronic lead referral worksheet for the prospect) about the ownership structure of the entity.
