Purchase order matching
Purchase order matching is the process of verifying that vendor bills are backed by authorized purchase orders — a key internal control that prevents maverick spend and unauthorized purchases.
When purchases bypass the PO process, you lose control over spend and budget — and finding these bills manually is tedious. Invoice Auditor reviews your bills and flags any that exceed a set threshold without a corresponding purchase order linked in QuickBooks. It surfaces the spend that happened outside your procurement process so a controller or AP lead can investigate whether the purchase was authorized or whether the PO simply wasn't recorded. It never creates POs — it audits existing records read-only for your review.
