Who this is for
Finance manager or bookkeeper who pays suppliers in batches and wants a second check on every run.
You pay suppliers in batches, and a duplicate or changed bank detail would be found only after the money has left.
The result
Before each of up to four payment runs a month you receive an exceptions list with evidence for every item, and each month a planted-pack report shows the rules still find the planted duplicates, changed details, first-time payees and unusual amounts.
What is included
- Up to four payment batches a month, each up to 300 invoices
- The exceptions list for each batch with evidence, with unusual amounts as defined in the one-off job
- A monthly planted-pack re-run and false-flag count
- The supplier master compared with last month's
You receive
- Exceptions list per batch
- Monthly planted-pack test report
- Changes in the supplier master since last month
What is not included
- Instructing or releasing any payment
- Sight of bank account numbers
- Accounting, tax, audit, legal or financial advice: a named person at your business decides every money question
- Filing, submitting, approving, posting or paying anything in any system
- A statement that your figures are correct, complete or ready for audit
- Any response-time guarantee or out-of-hours cover
What we need from you first
- Which one-off version fits you, and the volume you expect each month
- Who receives the monthly result. No files or logins in the first enquiry
Never send passwords, keys, customer records or confidential code in the first enquiry. Secure handover is agreed after scoping.
How we check it is done
- Each month the frozen pack your approver planted (8 duplicates, 5 changed bank details, 3 first-time payees, 3 unusual amounts; list kept from us) is re-run and all 19 are found
- False flags on a clean pack stay at or under the agreed count
- Each month the frozen test pack is re-run, and every case that passed last month still passes; a case that fails is reported with its cause
- Originals are unchanged (checksums match) and nothing was written to any live system by us
You read each month's result and tell us whether the test and thresholds still suit you. A month counts as delivered when you have received the result and the test report.
When we would stop or decline
- Inputs change shape and cannot be mapped to the agreed one
- Nobody on your side reads the monthly result for two months running
- You want the system to post, send, file or pay by itself, without a person at your business approving each action
