The Process
..............................................................................................................
Investigation
Electronically we review every transaction in your accounts payable system. Our programs identify items of interest, flags anomalies in your purchasing or payment patterns. This is followed by our comprehensive review of all documents (offer, contract, vendor agreement, order, receiving, invoice, and cheque ) to confirm that the value contracted for is the value paid for.
Validation
With your permission, we contact your vendors to validate the errors we have identified. We work with your vendors until we recover your lost profits. Our professionalism will ensure the maintenance of a positive relationship between you and your vendors.
Recovery
On your behalf, we will request a cheque be issued by your supplier for the agreed amount. Alternatively, we will request permission from your supplier to deduct the agreed amount from the next payment.
Conclusion
Driven by the recoveries that we have identified, we will comment on specific process and system weaknesses found and recommend practical solutions to prevent future losses.
