4 in 10 invoices contain some kind of error · Institute of Finance and Management

We're losing money we can't see

Cash leakage is dangerous because it often looks like normal business activity. The invoice got paid. The customer promised to pay. The total seems close enough. Without systematic checks, small errors accumulate invisibly.

The blind spot

A problem can be expensive before it becomes obvious.

Cash leakage is dangerous because it often looks like normal business activity. The invoice got paid. The customer promised to pay. The total seems close enough. Without systematic checks, small errors accumulate invisibly.

The audit is designed to answer one question: does this problem actually exist in your business, and if it does, what is it worth?

What this can look like in the real world

  • A construction company: subcontractor invoices that do not match the agreed price sheet.
  • A restaurant: food cost creeping upward without anyone flagging it.
  • A distributor: a duplicate supplier invoice paid twice.
  • A wholesale business: 60-day-overdue accounts nobody has called in months.
  • A staffing agency: vendor overtime billed incorrectly.
  • A manufacturer: quantities billed that do not match what was delivered.
