Six dimensions of testing across every PO, every invoice, every payment, sampling never sees this much.
A useful P2P audit does not stop at duplicate invoices. The file should show the risk, control, source report, test logic, exception evidence and reviewer conclusion for vendor master, PO, GRN, invoice, tax and payment controls.
| Risk | Control | Audit test |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor master changes bypass approval | New vendor and bank-account changes require maker-checker approval with source documents retained. | Compare vendor master change log to approval tickets, bank proof and user access for the period. |
| Purchase order split to avoid approval limits | PO approval limits are configured by user role, department and value threshold. | Group POs by vendor, requester, date and item to identify split orders just below approval limits. |
| Invoices paid without goods or services received | Invoice processing requires PO, GRN/service entry and exception approval where three-way match fails. | Match invoice register to PO and GRN/service-entry data; review missing or overridden matches. |
| Duplicate or near-duplicate invoices are paid | AP runs duplicate checks before payment release using vendor, invoice number, amount and date logic. | Run exact and fuzzy duplicate tests across invoice number, vendor GSTIN, bank account, amount and payment reference. |
| Statutory deductions and MSME exposure are missed | GST ITC, TDS/TCS and MSME payment status are reviewed before close and payment release. | Tie AP data to GST/TDS fields, vendor MSME flag, payment ageing and exception sign-off. |
Procure-to-pay is one of the strongest candidates for continuous monitoring because the same data fields recur every week: vendor, bank account, PO, GRN, invoice, tax code, approval and payment reference.
