Payable Audit
Not sure if an audit is right for your organization? Here is the
Broniec Top Ten List of why you just might need an accounts payable
audit.
10. Eastern Airlines, NationsBank,
and Enron are active vendors.
9. Your Canadian vendors call to
thank you for your generosity.
8. "Purchase order? PURCHASE
ORDER? ... We don't use no stinkin' PURCHASE ORDER!"
7. Your A/P department makes permanent
use of temporary help.
6. You've had so many system changes
that your Accounts Payable staff have Pepto Bismol dispensers
at their cubicles.
5. Because of your A/P backlog,
vendors routinely send multiple invoice copies to receive payments.
4. Sarbanes-Oxley is thought to
be the latest sensation in country music.
3. You receive multiple holiday
greeting cards from the same vendor.
2. Vendors refer to your company
as a "CHAMPION", and you find out it really stands for:
"CHarge Anything, Man; Purchase orders Ignored; Overcharges
Neglected!"
And the #1 sign why you might need an accounts
payable audit...
1. 5,000 vendors, 25,000 vendor
numbers.
While our list is a little tongue-in-cheek, we hope you'll agree
each item contains a grain of truth (and sometimes a whole loaf!).
This list was created with the help of the many members of Team
Broniec who contributed their ideas. In addition to being experts
at what they do, you can see our Associates know how to have fun,
too! And while your audit is no laughing matter, it's good to remind
ourselves sometimes that the truth can be funny.

you off to needing an audit of your own.
