Solutions · Payables Audit

Recover the duplicate payments and overcharges in your AP.

AP clears invoices to keep suppliers paid; the duplicate payments and overpayments inside the run never get a second look. Each one becomes a recovery claim for approval.

Each error becomes a case with evidence and a claim to raise.

Each error becomes a case: the variance, evidence pack, recoverable amount, and the claim to raise.

Partnering with

The problem

AP clears invoices to keep suppliers paid. It doesn't audit them.

Errors slip when thousands of invoices need a three-way match against POs, goods receipts, and contracted price before payment.

Money leaves before anyone checks it.

Duplicate payments, overpayments, missed discounts, and paid-not-received clear straight through the run.

Multi-ERP estates pay twice.

After M&A, the same invoice gets paid twice across entities on separate ERPs.

Recovery needs an owner.

Debit notes and recovery claims need an owner's approval before reaching the supplier.

How the solution works

The payments your systems already cleared get a second look.

Routine matches clear. Exceptions arrive with the variance, evidence, and recovery value attached.

1Intake

Pull the invoices.

Paid and in-flight invoices come in from ERP and AP across every entity and ledger.

2Match

Rebuild the three-way match.

Each invoice is checked against its PO, goods receipt, and contracted price, line by line.

3Flag

Surface the exceptions.

Duplicates, price variances, quantity mismatches, missed discounts, tax and FX errors, and paid-not-received are flagged.

4Approve

Hold for the owner.

Material claims and ambiguous cases reach AP or controls with the evidence pack already assembled.

5Claim

Recover and reconcile.

Approved claims raise a supplier debit note, chase recovery, reconcile the credit, and write back.

Who it's for

Finance and IT both get to yes.

For AP, procure-to-pay & financial controls

Recover cash that already left.

  • Audit 100% of invoices, not a recovery-audit sample
  • Catch duplicate payments across entities and time windows
  • Surface missed early-pay discounts, price and FX variances
  • Every claim backed by a PO, receipt, and contract evidence pack

For CIO, IT & enterprise architecture

No multi-ERP consolidation project required.

  • Audits across every ERP and AP ledger as-is, even post-M&A
  • No integration build or data warehouse to stand up first
  • Every match, exception, and claim is logged and auditable
  • Pilot on one entity or a batch of paid invoices first

Business impact

A €500M AP spend typically leaks €0.5–2.5M.

A payables audit recovers the duplicates, overpayments, and missed discounts that cleared the run. On a related reconciliation workflow, Duvo protected €2.1M of revenue and €1.4M of margin a year at Rohlik. Bring your own paid invoices and POs and we size the recovery on your spend.

€0.5–2.5M

Recovered per €500M spend

Duplicates, overpayments, and missed discounts a payables audit typically recovers (example).

Existing system fit

No payments transformation project required to start.

It runs through the ERPs, ledgers, and files your AP team already uses, then leaves a clear record of every recovery.

Finance keeps authority over every claim.

Approval thresholds

Material recoveries and ambiguous variances pause for AP, controls, or procure-to-pay owners before any debit note goes out.

Evidence trail

Each claim shows the invoice, PO, goods receipt, contracted price, variance, and rationale behind the recovery.

Supplier-ready output

Approved claims are staged as debit notes with supporting evidence, then reconciled against the credit on return.
