Business Overview

 The client - operating a Shared Service Centre to process over £1.5bn
  in invoices per year - suspected that invoices were being paid twice, or
  even more

 We were engaged to develop a duplicate payments test for inclusion in
  the business as usual payments process

 The client required the automated tool to be developed in ACL

 Data extracted from client’s COINS & Lamex systems

 Hand-over ACL scripts for future processes

Scope

 Develop, document and run automated scripts that:
           –         Import CSV extracts from COINS and Lamex systems

           –         Identify potential duplicate payments based on a weighted scoring model

           –         Output subcontractors that are also vendors

 Manage handover knowledge and CAATs

  £7m

 So far, an analysis of 3% of the results confirmed that £30k were
  duplicates

 Used to prevent future duplicate payments
