This audit is not accounting, tax, banking, credit, fraud or legal advice.
- G02
Never validate a changed payment destination only through the message requesting it.
- G03
Document matching does not replace accountable approval and bank controls.
Authenticate the transaction
A legitimate-looking invoice can use a changed entity, channel or fraudulent bank destination.
- 01Resolve supplier master, invoice identity, uniqueness, date, terms, currency and approved communication channel
- 02Independently verify entity, tax or payment-detail changes using established contact evidence
- 03Identify requester, receiver, master-data editor, approver, payment releaser and reconciler roles
Match the commercial evidence
Total-level matching can hide wrong items, units or partial deliveries.
- 01Join each invoice line to the approved order version and supplier acknowledgement
- 02Compare exact item or service, ordered and accepted quantities, original units, price, freight, tax context and discounts
- 03Link lot, container, service completion, return, damage, hold and acceptance evidence where relevant
Resolve every difference
Tolerance rules can normalize duplicate, unauthorized or disputed charges.
- 01List quantity, unit, price, substitution, missing receipt, duplicate, tax, freight, deposit, return and credit differences
- 02Assign an independent owner, supplier communication, evidence request, financial effect and deadline
- 03Preserve rejected, corrected and superseded invoices rather than editing them into agreement
Authorize, pay and close
A valid obligation can still be paid to the wrong place or posted to the wrong enterprise.
- 01Confirm approval authority, segregation, payment batch, destination, amount and release evidence
- 02Reconcile bank confirmation and remittance to open liability, inventory or expense, enterprise and period
- 03Return delivery, quality, dispute, credit and response evidence to supplier review and future order controls
