The problem

AP leakage survives normal payment controls.

Most companies do not overpay vendors because they lack discipline. They overpay because invoice review is split across PDFs, spreadsheets, contracts, POs, statements, rate sheets, and vendor emails. By the time an error is visible, the payment has usually already gone out.

Rates drift from contracts

A vendor rate changes, a contract term gets missed, or an old price schedule keeps getting billed after a new agreement is signed.

$

Credits never land

Credits are promised, referenced, or partially issued — but never fully applied against the account.

Duplicates slip through

The same invoice can appear under different numbers, dates, entities, locations, or vendor naming variations.

AP teams are buried

The team is measured on keeping payments moving, not manually reconstructing years of invoices, contracts, statements, and line items.

InvoiceAudit.com turns scattered AP history into a claim review queue.

The product

A recovery review for vendor overbilling.

InvoiceAudit.com reviews AP history around the work a recovery analyst has to do: match vendors, compare invoices against contracts, reconcile statements, and assemble evidence for recovery.

The goal is fewer vague alerts and more claims your finance team can approve, reject, or send back for validation.

How it works

From AP files to recovery-ready claims.

  1. 1

    Upload your AP history

    Send PDFs, spreadsheets, accounting exports, contracts, POs, rate sheets, vendor statements, or a ZIP of everything.

  2. 2

    Records are matched and grouped

    InvoiceAudit.com groups records by vendor, entity, location, date, invoice, payment, contract, and statement relationship.

  3. 3

    Findings are flagged for review

    Duplicate payments, rate mismatches, missing credits, and fee issues are tied back to the documents that support each finding.

  4. 4

    You review the evidence

    Each claim includes source documents, amount, issue type, explanation, review level, and recommended next action.

  5. 5

    Recovery begins

    Approved claims can move into vendor outreach, response tracking, settlement, escalation, or closure.

  6. 6

    You track recovered dollars

    See what was found, what was approved, what was disputed, what was recovered, and what still needs action.

Recovery dashboard

Every finding needs an amount, a reason, and a next action.

Each queue row carries the vendor, issue, amount, review level, status, and the action needed before recovery work moves forward.

Claim Summary

Duplicate payment candidate: Freight vendor

The same invoice amount and service period appear in two payment batches with different payment references. The latest vendor statement shows no matching credit, refund, or offset.

Evidence Linked

  • Invoice line INV-10492: $8,420 freight charge
  • Payment batch 03-18: $8,420 paid
  • Second payment batch 04-02: $8,420 paid
  • Same service period: Feb 1–Feb 28
  • Statement check: no credit, refund, or offset found
Suggested Next ActionAfter customer approval, ask the vendor to confirm whether the second payment was refunded, credited, offset, or remains recoverable.

Evidence-first recovery

Claims are only useful if vendors can understand them.

Each validated finding explains what happened, where the discrepancy appears, which documents support it, and what action comes next.

  • Invoice excerpts, contract terms, and payment records
  • Statement references, credit checks, and status trail
  • Discrepancy explanation plus a customer-approved outreach draft

Security and controls

Controls for sensitive financial records.

The public process is intentionally conservative: exported files first, no automatic vendor outreach, claim-level evidence, and written security or retention terms when a customer requires them.

Exported records first

The first review can start from AP exports, invoices, statements, contracts, rate sheets, and ZIPs; ERP credentials are not required.

Approval-based outreach

Customer approval is required before any vendor contact, claim submission, or recovery outreach.

Claim-level evidence record

Each claim keeps source documents, discrepancy reasoning, approval status, outreach notes, and recovery outcome in one record.

Security review before upload

If your company needs an NDA, DPA, retention schedule, or questionnaire response, book a review before sending AP records.

Pricing

No recovery, no fee.

Start with a free recovery scan. If you approve recovery work, the agreement defines the success fee, what counts as recovered value, and how refunds, credits, offsets, or vendor-confirmed balance reductions are handled.

Frequently asked questions

What files can I upload?
Invoices, AP exports, payment reports, vendor statements, contracts, purchase orders, rate sheets, and ZIP files. You can send mixed-format AP records; the first review does not require a clean template.
Do you need access to our accounting system?
Not for the initial scan. You can start with exported invoices, payment reports, statements, contracts, rate sheets, and supporting files.
What should we avoid uploading?
Do not upload bank credentials, payroll records, tax identifiers, medical information, or unrelated personal data. If sensitive supporting detail is required, agree on handling terms before sending it.
Can security or legal review the process first?
Yes. If your company needs an NDA, DPA, retention schedule, questionnaire response, or security review, book a recovery review before uploading AP records.
Will you contact vendors automatically?
No. Customer approval is required before any vendor outreach, claim submission, or recovery request.
What counts as a recovery?
A recovery may include a refund, credit, corrected balance, offset, or confirmed reduction tied to a validated overcharge. Final fee treatment is governed by the customer agreement.
Is this only duplicate payment review?
No. Duplicate payments are one category. InvoiceAudit.com also reviews contract mismatches, pricing errors, missing credits, incorrect fees, statement discrepancies, and savings opportunities.
What if the scan finds nothing?
Then there is no recovery fee. Your team still has a structured review of duplicate-payment, credit, rate, fee, and statement-mismatch patterns.
How long does this take?
The first step is uploading files. Timing depends on file volume, document quality, and whether contracts or statements are included.

Turn AP history into a recovery review queue.

Upload invoices, exports, contracts, statements, and rate sheets. InvoiceAudit.com organizes the files, reviews them for vendor overbilling, and shows which issues are ready for approval, vendor outreach, or more validation.

No recovery, no fee. PDFs, exports, contracts, and ZIPs welcome.
