Our risk identification software forensically analyses your transactions and finds high-risk invoices that could be duplicates, overpayments, input errors or fraud. It’s intuitive and simple to use, with a prioritised list showing you and your team the riskiest transactions.
This list can then be used to investigate and action those transactions before the payment run, therefore reducing risk exposure and reducing the need for costly and time consuming recovery audits.
Manually reconciling statements is tedious and time-consuming, taking up valuable resource. Thousands of pounds in missed credits are left unclaimed and missing invoices are found too late.
1 in 3 vendor statements contain errors and missed credits. How much could you find?
Whether you're looking for additional support on day-to-day tasks or want a deeper analysis of your processes as part of an improvement programme, our expert consultants deliver supporting services including statement reconciliation, benchmarking, master data management, recovery audits, and process analysis.
Working together to meet your objectives, we help you develop your best practices for financial transformation and a safer, smoother and more efficient AP/P2P function.
"At first I was a little unsure about FISCAL’s claim that we would discover duplicates in a very short space of time. But I have to say, on the very first run we found duplicates and errors that would never have been highlighted by our current system of checks."
"We are extremely pleased with the value we get from the software. And there is no way I would take the risk of making duplicate payments now that we have FISCAL’s software in place. Why should I?"
"Across the areas of duplicate payment prevention, time savings and process improvements we have seen an excellent return on investment and are confident that FISCAL will continue protecting Allscripts’ working capital into the future."
