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

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

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
Why

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

Overrides and circumvention of system generated duplicate payment edits
Inadequate policy regarding coding of liabilities where no invoice exists

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
