Continuous Monitoring for Overpayment Detection

Myth 1 ERP system offers duplicate controls raquo Reality Global entertainment company with strong process controls and a

single instance of SAP identified $14000000 in overpayments in a single year

audits of companies with supplier registration portals strong vendor master controls and vendor master cleansing routines

wwwapexanalytixcom 31 Recover Prevent Improve Proprietary and Confidential copy APEX Analytix Inc

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits

Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

Human error

Vendor Coding Errors Two completely different vendors paid for the same invoice

Different Payment Systems System change or multiple systems used

Inconsistent Invoice Coding Discrepancy in the entry of an invoice number

Inconsistent Invoice Amounts Discrepancy in the amount of the same invoice

Multiple Related Vendors Different divisions of the same company

Continuous Monitoring for Overpayment Detection

Myth 1 ERP system offers duplicate controls raquo Reality Global entertainment company with strong process controls and a

single instance of SAP identified $14000000 in overpayments in a single year

Myth 2 a clean vendor master prevents duplicates raquo Reality Hundreds of millions in duplicates and overpayments are found in

audits of companies with supplier registration portals strong vendor master controls and vendor master cleansing routines

wwwapexanalytixcom 31 Recover Prevent Improve Proprietary and Confidential copy APEX Analytix Inc

Why

Multiple company codes

Inconsistent data entry

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits

Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

Human error

Vendor Coding Errors Two completely different vendors paid for the same invoice

Possible Duplicate Overrides Same invoice entered twice for payment (PO vs non PO override of duplicate payment edits)

Different Payment Systems System change or multiple systems used

Inconsistent Invoice Coding Discrepancy in the entry of an invoice number

Inconsistent Invoice Amounts Discrepancy in the amount of the same invoice

Multiple Related Vendors Different divisions of the same company

Continuous Monitoring for Overpayment Detection

Myth 1 ERP system offers duplicate controls raquo Reality Global entertainment company with strong process controls and a

single instance of SAP identified $14000000 in overpayments in a single year

Myth 2 a clean vendor master prevents duplicates raquo Reality Hundreds of millions in duplicates and overpayments are found in

audits of companies with supplier registration portals strong vendor master controls and vendor master cleansing routines

wwwapexanalytixcom 31 Recover Prevent Improve Proprietary and Confidential copy APEX Analytix Inc

Why

Multiple company codes

Inconsistent data entry

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits

Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

Human error

Vendor Coding Errors Two completely different vendors paid for the same invoice

Possible Duplicate Overrides Same invoice entered twice for payment (PO vs non PO override of duplicate payment edits)

Different Payment Systems System change or multiple systems used

Inconsistent Invoice Coding Discrepancy in the entry of an invoice number

Inconsistent Invoice Amounts Discrepancy in the amount of the same invoice

Multiple Related Vendors Different divisions of the same company

Continuous Monitoring for Overpayment Detection

Myth 1 ERP system offers duplicate controls raquo Reality Global entertainment company with strong process controls and a

single instance of SAP identified $14000000 in overpayments in a single year

Myth 2 a clean vendor master prevents duplicates raquo Reality Hundreds of millions in duplicates and overpayments are found in

audits of companies with supplier registration portals strong vendor master controls and vendor master cleansing routines

wwwapexanalytixcom 31 Recover Prevent Improve Proprietary and Confidential copy APEX Analytix Inc

Why

Multiple company codes

Inconsistent data entry

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits

Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

Human error

Vendor Coding Errors Two completely different vendors paid for the same invoice

Possible Duplicate Overrides Same invoice entered twice for payment (PO vs non PO override of duplicate payment edits)

Different Payment Systems System change or multiple systems used

Inconsistent Invoice Coding Discrepancy in the entry of an invoice number

Inconsistent Invoice Amounts Discrepancy in the amount of the same invoice

Multiple Related Vendors Different divisions of the same company

Continuous Monitoring for Overpayment Detection

Myth 1 ERP system offers duplicate controls raquo Reality Global entertainment company with strong process controls and a

single instance of SAP identified $14000000 in overpayments in a single year

Myth 2 a clean vendor master prevents duplicates raquo Reality Hundreds of millions in duplicates and overpayments are found in

audits of companies with supplier registration portals strong vendor master controls and vendor master cleansing routines

Why

Multiple company codes

Inconsistent data entry

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits

Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

Human error

Vendor Coding Errors Two completely different vendors paid for the same invoice

Possible Duplicate Overrides Same invoice entered twice for payment (PO vs non PO override of duplicate payment edits)

Different Payment Systems System change or multiple systems used

Cash Discount Value Streams

Capturing 100 of discounts from known vendors o Cash discounts negotiated but not capturing timely or consistently o Early warning system to flag high dollar cash discount items o Notifying approvers to clear obstacles o Make sure terms are consistent across related vendor numbers

Capturing discounts from suppliers who offer discounts in regular course of business but your company is not taking advantage of these discounts

o Targeting suppliers with a known history of offering cash discounts (using APEX knowledge baseselected commodities)

Opportunistic ie dynamic discounting o Email alerts to vendors with high value invoices communicating a cash discount opportunity o When inquiring on portal offer ldquoPay Me Nowrdquo option o ldquoBest in Classrdquo is $114 million in cash discountsbillion (over 55)
