Comprehensive AP Audits - Valuable Results.
Independent AP audits that recover overpayments and strengthen financial controls.
For more than five decades, Broniec Associates has performed independent accounts payable recovery audits that identify overpayments, strengthen internal controls, improve vendor payment accuracy, and provide executive teams with greater financial visibility across complex AP environments.
Why Conduct an Accounts Payable Recovery Audit?
Even well-controlled environments contain blind spots. Our independent AP recovery audits identify instances such as:
ERP & Payment Errors
Duplicate and other overpayments following ERP conversions
Vendor Billing
Vendor billing practices
Contract Pricing
Contract pricing discrepancies masked by system tolerances
Credits & Allowances
Missed credits, rebates, and allowances excluded from invoice workflows
Salses & Use Tax Errrors
Use tax and accrual gaps
Multi-invoice entry
Automated Workflows
Control weaknesses hidden inside automated workflow processes
Results That Extend Beyond Recovery
Millions Recovered Annually
We deliver clarity, recoveries, and executive-ready reporting.
Financial integrity is about more than dollars.
Many firms focus only on dollars. We focus on financial integrity – our results tell a story.
Independent audits should improve more than the bottom line. They should improve the process and deliver peace of mind.

Automation Reduces Manual Work.
It Doesn’t Eliminate Risk.
AP automation improves efficiency. It does not reassess outdated rules, question vendor behavior, or validate post-implementation assumptions.
Errors in automated environments rarely appear dramatic. They persist quietly - until an independent review surfaces them.

Answers to the Questions We Hear
Choosing an independent accounts payable recovery audit partner is an important decision. These are some of the questions we hear most often before organizations begin an engagement.
If our ERP already catches duplicate payments, what will your audit find?
Modern ERP systems are effective at identifying many exact-match duplicate payments. However, they are not designed to detect every recovery opportunity. Independent review can uncover pricing discrepancies, missed credits, rebates, tax overpayments, duplicate suppliers, freight errors, contract compliance issues, and other patterns that extend beyond standard system controls.
You work on contingency. What's the catch?
There isn't one. Our fees are earned only when recoveries are successfully identified and validated. That model aligns our success with yours and reinforces our commitment to delivering findings that withstand scrutiny and produce measurable financial value.
How much of my team's time will an audit require?
Most of the work is performed by Broniec after the required data is provided. Your team's involvement is generally limited to project kickoff, occasional clarification of exceptions, and periodic progress discussions, allowing daily operations to continue with minimal disruption.
You don’t need a known issue to justify a review.
You need confirmation your processes and controls are working as intended.
