GL coding
GL coding is the assignment of every transaction to the correct general ledger account — getting it wrong distorts financial reports, departmental budgets, and tax filings.
A single miscoded large expense can throw off departmental budgets and make financial analysis unreliable for months. Invoice Auditor analyzes how specific vendors and items were coded historically and flags new bills whose coding deviates from the established pattern — a vendor that was always coded to 'Office Supplies' suddenly coding to 'Professional Services,' for example. It surfaces the anomaly with the historical context for your review, so a bookkeeper can confirm whether the coding change was intentional or a data-entry slip. It never recodes transactions — it flags potential errors for you to correct.
