What a finding looks like

Every finding is evidence,
not an estimate.

Recovery Auditor does not flag anomalies and leave you to investigate. Every finding names the supplier, the invoice, the contractual rule, the overpayment calculation, the supporting evidence, and the recommended next action.

"Unit pricing for Category B office consumables shall not exceed $14.25 per unit for volumes above 500 units per order, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024."

Recommended next action

Issue a credit memo request to Meridian Office Supplies Corp. referencing contract MSA §4.2 and Invoice INV-2024-003847. Recovery Auditor has generated a draft dispute letter with the full calculation and contract excerpt attached.

Illustrative example — synthetic data, not a customer result. Your findings include the same level of specificity: supplier, invoice, contractual clause, calculation, and next action.

What Recovery Auditor finds

Three overpayment types.
One upload.

All examples below are illustrative — synthetic data, not customer results.

Use Case 01 — Contract Price Mismatch

Your contract says $14.25. They invoiced $18.40.

Recovery Auditor compares every line item on every invoice against your signed contract terms — tiered pricing, volume discounts, category rates, and negotiated caps. It finds every instance where the invoiced price exceeds what you agreed to pay.

  • Line-by-line price comparison against master agreements
  • Tiered volume discount verification
  • Category rate schedule reconciliation
  • Calculation of total overpayment per supplier per period
Price Variance Analysis Mismatch
Line Item Contract Invoiced Delta
A4 Copy Paper (ream) $4.80 $6.20 +$1.40
Binder Clips (box) $1.15 $1.15 $0.00
Printer Cartridge (BK) $14.25 $18.40 +$4.15
Legal Pads (dozen) $8.50 $11.20 +$2.70
Total overpayment on this invoice $9,960.00

Use Case 02 — Duplicate Payments

Potential duplicate payment. Same goods, similar invoice details.

Duplicate invoices with slight variations — different invoice numbers, adjusted amounts, minor date changes — can slip through AP without detection. Recovery Auditor cross-references invoice records to surface potential exact and near-duplicate payments for review.

  • Exact and near-duplicate invoice detection
  • Cross-period payment history matching
  • Vendor alias and remittance address matching
  • Flags potential duplicate pairs for investigation
Duplicate Payment Detection Needs Review

INV-2024-001204 03 Aug 2024 $12,480.00

INV-2024-001204R 14 Aug 2024 $12,480.00 Flagged
Potential recovery $12,480.00

Use Case 03 — Unsupported Surcharges

Fuel surcharge not in your contract. No contractual basis found.

Freight surcharges, fuel adjustments, handling fees, payment terms penalties — suppliers add line items that may not have been agreed to. Recovery Auditor checks every surcharge and fee against your contract to identify charges with no contractual basis.

  • Surcharge and fee line-item extraction
  • Contract clause matching for each charge type
  • Flags charges with no contractual basis found
  • Quantifies potential unsupported charge total by supplier
Surcharge Authorization Check Needs Review
Standard freight (MSA §6.1)
$340.00
Insurance (MSA §6.3)
$88.00
Fuel surcharge — not in contract
$520.00
Late processing fee — not in contract
$175.00
No contractual basis found $695.00

Questions

What finance teams ask
before they start.

Do I need to connect our ERP to use Recovery Auditor?

No. Recovery Auditor works entirely from uploaded files — your contracts (PDF or Word) and invoice data (CSV or XLSX). No ERP integration, no API access, no IT project. If you can export invoices to a spreadsheet, you can run a recovery audit.

What contract and invoice formats do you support?

Contracts: PDF and DOCX. Invoice data: CSV and XLSX. Purchase orders (optional): CSV and XLSX. We extract the relevant pricing terms and line items from these formats. You do not need to reformat your existing data.

How long does a recovery scan take?

Initial findings are typically delivered within 24–72 hours of upload, depending on the volume of contracts and invoices. You receive a full recovery report for each finding set, not just a summary.

What exactly is in a recovery finding?

Each finding includes: the supplier name, the specific invoice reference, the contractual clause that was breached, the invoiced amount versus the contracted amount, the calculated overpayment, a direct quote from your contract as evidence, a confidence level, and a recommended next action including a draft dispute letter.

Is Recovery Auditor an accounts payable system or a contract management tool?

Neither. Recovery Auditor is a focused invoice audit tool. It does not process payments, manage contracts, or integrate with procurement workflows. It does one thing: find where your invoices did not honor your contracted terms, and show you the evidence so you can recover the money.

How is this different from hiring a recovery audit firm?

Traditional recovery audit firms (apexanalytix, PRGX, FlexTecs) require ERP access, take 3–6 months to deliver findings, charge 20–30% contingency fees on every dollar recovered, and typically only work with companies spending $500M+ annually with suppliers. Recovery Auditor works from file uploads, delivers findings in days, charges a flat subscription, and has no minimum spend requirement.

What does the Free Recovery Scan include?

During early access, we run a complete recovery scan on your uploaded contracts and invoices at no cost. You receive a full recovery report. There is no obligation to subscribe, and we do not take a percentage of any amounts you recover.

Is my financial data secure?

Your documents are processed with strict data handling controls. We do not share your contract or invoice data with third parties. Detailed security documentation is available on request — contact us before uploading if you have specific security requirements.
