Questions finance teams ask before an AP audit.

A duplicate payment audit is a forensic review of accounts payable history that identifies invoices paid more than once, overpayments, and unapplied vendor credits. It cross-matches transactions on vendor, amount, purchase order, and timing to surface payments standard AP controls missed.

Most duplicates do not look like errors. A vendor resubmits an invoice with a new number, a split purchase order is paid through two approval chains, or a credit memo is issued but never applied. Each passes routine validation because nothing about the individual transaction looks wrong.

Fintralis works with SAP, Oracle, and JD Edwards, and integrates with other major ERP systems. The platform uses flat file exports from your existing environment, so there is no migration, no new software for your finance team, and no change to your live system.

No. The audit runs on a read-only export of your AP history and does not touch your live environment. The only demand on your team is the initial data pull. Everything after that — matching, vendor recovery, and documentation — is handled by Fintralis.

A full implementation runs roughly seven weeks: two weeks for requirements, two and a half for configuration, one week each for in-house and business testing, and two days of team training before go-live. An initial exposure scan is considerably faster.

Fintralis is built for finance teams with roughly $50 million or more in annual accounts payable spend. At that volume, transaction counts exceed what manual review can realistically cover, which is where duplicate and erroneous payments accumulate unnoticed.

Fintralis works on 100% contingency. There is no setup fee, no monthly retainer, and no cost if the audit recovers nothing. Fees are a percentage of funds actually returned to you, so the engagement only costs money when it has already produced money.

Contingency pricing means the provider is paid from recovered funds rather than billed hours or licence fees. If a scan comes back clean, you owe nothing. It aligns incentives: the provider only earns by finding real, documented, recoverable money.

Yes. Alongside contingency, Fintralis offers subscription, fixed or outcome-based, and volumetric pricing. The right structure depends on company size, transaction volume, and which offerings you engage. Most finance teams start with contingency because it carries no downside risk.

An exposure scan is an initial forensic review of your accounts payable history to determine whether recoverable funds exist. It costs nothing, requires only a read-only data export, and carries no obligation to proceed if the results do not justify a full engagement.

A read-only export of your AP history covering the period you choose, pulled from your ERP as flat files. No system access, no credentials, and no changes to your live environment are required to begin.

You pay nothing. Under the contingency model, fees only apply to funds actually recovered. A clean scan costs you the time of one data pull and confirms your existing AP controls are working, which is useful information in itself.
