What would you do? 1. Verification & "Three-Way Matching" Data Validation: Checking that the invoice details (Vendor name, Tax ID, Address) match the Master Vendor File. The Three-Way Match: Cross-referencing the Invoice against the Purchase Order (PO) and the Goods Receipt (GR) to ensure the company only pays for what was ordered and actually received. Tax Compliance: Verifying that VAT, GST, or Sales Tax is calculated correctly according to the specific tax jurisdiction of the transaction. Error Detection & Exception Handling Identifying Discrepancies: Flagging price variances (unit price vs. PO price) or quantity mismatches. Duplicate Prevention: Running checks to ensure the same invoice hasn t been submitted under a slightly different reference number or date. Root Cause Analysis: Investigating why an error occurred—was it a vendor mistake, a system glitch, or a human error during data entry? Compliance & Risk Management Policy Enforcement: Ensuring the invoice has the required internal approvals (signatures or digital workflows) based on the company’s "Delegation of Authority." Anti-Fraud Checks: Looking for "red flags" such as altered documents, suspicious bank detail changes, or generic descriptions that don t match the business s needs. Audit Readiness: Maintaining a clean digital trail so that when internal or external auditors arrive, every payment has a "proof of accuracy" attached.
