We check and improve your accounts payable function - and recover lost profits for you at the same time.
And the best thing is: And the best part? It doesn’t cost you anything. Our fee is solely based on a share of the measurable success of our project: the incoming payments we recover for you.
Internal audits and the optimization of your accounts payable processesoften require significant time and resources. In contrast, an analysis and consultation by our team costs you nothing at all — not in terms of time, personnel, or budget. We work quietly in the background and, in addition to identifying optimization opportunities, we also uncover cases of:
Duplicate payments,
Payments to incorrect recipients,
Missing bonus credit notes,
Recoverable tax deductions, and much more.
No organization is 100% free of human error or system flaws.
How can you reduce the risk of duplicate payments?
The risk of duplicate payments or missed tax deductions is often not immediately visible—but it is always present. Why?
Standard audit routines in SAP and other systems do not catch every odd case, meaning they do not offer complete protection.
Only a part of your suppliers will notify you about received overpayments. Based on our experience, depending on the industry, 35% to 75% of suppliers simply keep duplicate or incorrect payments - without informing their business partners.
Human errors occur throughout the entire process, from invoicing by your supplier to entry of master data, posting of invoices, and payment approvals on your end.
Many other factors contribute to duplicate payments and posting errors, such as: Complex global supply chains, Process changes, such as integrating eInvoices, System migrations, like transitioning to S/4 HANA, Employee turnover in key areas, Rapid business growth, restructuring, and reorganization, Errors in OCR recognition…
All of these errors immediately cost your company money. What’s often underestimated: Individual, known cases may seem minor. But when scaled across thousands of invoices per year, multiple entities, several years, and various overpayment categories, this leads—especially in companies with annual revenues exceeding €100 million—to significant financial losses, often in the millions. Losses that have remained undetected until now—but which you can immediately convert into unexpected profits. Averdes' Overpayment Check is our service to reduce the risk of duplicate payments and many other accounting errors—while also helping you generate unplanned profits right away:
We identify duplicate payments made at your expense.
We detect other overpayments, such as payments to incorrect recipients, incorrectly posted or missing credit notes from your suppliers—and we correct these as well.
We review untapped tax deductions that have previously been overlooked.
We reconcile your accounts and open items with suppliers (and customers), uncovering additional credit balances.
We document all results and provide clear insights into the root causes of duplicate payments and tax posting errors.
We create transparency through benchmarking and identify further optimization potential.
The result? Your financial processes become more robust, errors are avoided, and their associated costs are prevented in the future—right from the start.
