ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for auditing invoice and payment records are disclosed. A computer system may receive a plurality of invoices and payment records, compare one of the invoices to a matching one of the payment records to identify a discrepancy between the invoice and the payment record, calculate an error value as a function of the identified discrepancy, determine that the calculated error value exceeds a tolerance value, and generate an reporting the identified discrepancy. Methods and systems for balancing invoices and payment records are also disclosed. A computer system may compare dates and payment amounts of the invoices to dates and payment amounts of the payment records, and identify matches between the two. The computer system may then display lists of unmatched invoices and payment records for a user to manually examine.
