Vendor Invoice Audit · 100-Invoice Proof Audit

Find where vendor invoices do not match what you negotiated.

AP systems process and approve invoices. AllCaps is the audit layer that checks whether the commercial terms on those invoices comply with the governing contract.

Start with your own contracts and invoices. No ERP, CLM, or operational-system integration is required for the standard audit.

Contracts and invoices are enough

The question

Are we paying what we agreed to pay?

CFOs, CPOs, controllers, and AP or procurement leaders who want contract-level assurance beyond ordinary invoice workflow and approval controls.

Beyond workflow automation

An invoice can match a PO and pass every approval while still using the wrong contracted rate, missing a discount, exceeding a cap, or applying an unallowed fee. Those are commercial-term errors, not AP-workflow errors.

Beyond AP Automation

49+ contract checks ordinary AP automation doesn't perform

AP systems process and approve invoices. AllCaps reads the governing agreement and tests every invoice against the commercial terms your team negotiated.

AP automation processes invoices.AllCaps checks whether the contract was honored.

How it works

Send contracts and invoices. Review the findings.

The standard Vendor Invoice Audit uses only vendor contracts, amendments or rate cards, and vendor invoices.

Step 1

Send

Send the contracts, amendments or rate cards, and historical invoices. PDFs and standard exports are fine.

Step 2

Structure

AllCaps maps the governing commercial terms and connects amendments and rate cards to the correct agreement.

Step 3

Audit

AllCaps checks invoice lines and calculations against the contract terms that can be established from those records.

Step 4

Review

Review evidence-backed findings with the relevant contract and clause support for material issues.

What you get

A focused product proof, backed by source evidence

The Proof Audit demonstrates AllCaps on your records without turning the first step into a consulting engagement or systems project.

Evidence-backed findings

A focused set of invoice exceptions established from the supplied contracts, amendments, rate cards, and invoices.

Contract and clause support

Material findings connect back to the governing contract language so your team can verify the result.

Audit readout

A clear review of what AllCaps found, how each material finding was calculated, and what continuous audit would cover.

After the Proof Audit

Continuous Invoice Audit

If the proof is useful, move the same contract-to-invoice checks into an ongoing software subscription.

Continuous Invoice Audit

AllCaps continuously checks vendor invoices against their governing contracts as invoice volumes expand. Volume-based expansion lets coverage grow with the number of invoices audited.

Subscription pricing

Plans start at $2,000/month.

Standard onboarding is included with subscription plans. Custom integrations, unusual data formats, or significant bespoke normalization may be priced separately.
