Engagement

Procurement Expense Audit

A structured review of purchase orders, supplier invoices, and expense claims to surface overcharges, duplicates, and policy gaps.

Who it is for

Procurement leads, finance controllers, and purchasing teams preparing for board review or external scrutiny

What you leave with

A written findings pack with ranked exceptions, sample evidence, and practical remediation steps your team can act on

Scope

Covers a defined spend window and supplier set agreed in the scoping call. Typical engagements examine purchase orders, three-way match records, supplier invoices, credit notes, and employee expense claims tied to procurement.

Included

  • Scoping call to set spend period, categories, and sampling depth
  • Document request list tailored to your purchasing cycle
  • Sample-based testing of invoices against purchase orders and receipts
  • Exception log with severity, evidence notes, and suggested next steps
  • Closing briefing with procurement and finance stakeholders

Not included

  • Statutory financial-statement audit opinion
  • Legal advice on contract disputes
  • Ongoing accounts-payable processing

How the work moves

  1. Agree scope, period, and access to purchase records
  2. Receive and catalogue source documents
  3. Test samples and chase clarifications with your buyers
  4. Draft findings and walk through remediation priorities

Preparation

Export of PO and invoice registers, supplier master list, and current procurement policy

Constraints we name early

Work pauses if source files are incomplete; we flag blockers early rather than guessing
