The Big Fat SAP Concur Christmas Quiz

Lara Edwards | 14-12-2018

It’s that time of year again. Christmas chaos is taking over and we seem to be living life in fast forward.

 

If you need a quiet few minutes to regroup your thoughts, our Christmas Quiz might be the perfect accompaniment. So sit down with a mince pie and a gingerbread latte and see how well your SAP Concur (and general finance news) knowledge stacks up.

 

Once you’ve got all the answers, you should be able to spell a line from a traditional Christmas song from the first letter of each answer.

 

This is just for fun and there are no prizes, only a warm glow and a sense of satisfaction about your own achievement. You’ll find the answers at the end. Good luck!
