Payment Recovery
Duplicate Payment Assessment & Payment Recovery
No matter how sophisticated your systems and processes,
inadvertent overpayments are inevitable. A typical large public
sector accounts payable team makes hundreds of thousands of
payments to thousands of suppliers. Complex and time consuming
authorization processes, over reliance on temporary staff or simple
human error mean that even the strictest of controls can't
completely eliminate the risk of you paying a supplier more than
they are owed.
Our payment recovery audit team undertake a forensic analysis of
your transactional data and supplier statements to identify,
validate and ultimately recover inadvertent overpayments, missed
credits and unapplied cash that have gone undetected by your pre
and post payment controls.
Public sector focussed
Since 2003 our spend analysis and spend management solutions
have underpinned the efforts of more than 1000 public bodies
worldwide to deliver cash savings, measure progress and manage
compliance. As specialists in the public sector we understand the
need for strict security and sensitivity in our interaction with
your staff and suppliers.
No recovery, no fee
Our fees are fully contingent and are based upon an agreed
percentage of actual monies recovered. In the unlikely event that
we make no recoveries, there is no fee to pay.
Prevention is better than cure
We conduct a structured and systematic review of your existing
systems and processes to assess the likely causes of inadvertent
overpayment. Our "root cause analysis" will help you identify
how to avoid overpayments in the future.
"The spend analysis was something that was sorely needed at Tampa. Spikes Cavell and the Observatory are going to help us streamline in a lot of areas."
