Statement Audit

SAS has developed a strategic approach to a supplier statement audit ensuring that a thorough and detailed review is performed to identify unrecognized supplier credits and identify system weaknesses. During an Accounts Payable Recovery Audit, we request statements from a client agreed-upon list of suppliers, diligently following up with unresponsive vendors to ensure compliance with our request. All statements are reviewed for open credits, allowing us to recover all available funds and expose patterns that could lead to additional recoveries.

SAS historic compliance rate on statement audits is in excess of 95% for targeted suppliers.

• Client data is “scrubbed” to eliminate duplicate suppliers and to ensure valid contact information
• Client approved statement letters are emailed to all targeted suppliers
• Statements received are captured in the SAS client portal
• Statements are tracked from receipt through resolution

Supplier statements are reviewed for the following:

• Validation that the supplier submitted a complete statement of all activity for all account numbers
• Identify credits already captured by the client
• Identify and validate with supplier open/unapplied credits
• SAS reviews each missed credit to determine the Root Cause Analysis and provide our clients with recommendations to improve its internal processes and reduce future profit leakage.
