Document packs that shorten an AP automation audit
A practical list of extracts and access that help a financial audit of your accounts payable automation application finish on time.
Engagements stall less often on complex findings than on missing extracts. Before kickoff, assemble:
- Vendor master extract with creation and last-change dates
- Payment run listings for the period, including voided payments
- Approval matrix with temporary delegates noted
- Exception queue ageing for unmatched invoices
- Prior year auditor comments mentioning accounts payable
Grant escorted or read-only access early. Waiting until week three for login credentials compresses sampling into the days before your board pack is due — which helps nobody.
