Client stories
What finance teams noticed when we opened their invoice processing applications for review.
Evidence from recent work — specific to matching, approvals, and archive practice inside invoice applications.
“They traced three duplicate-supplier paths we had never noticed in our invoice intake screen. The write-up was plain enough for our statutory auditor to use without translation into jargon.”
— Mika S., AP Manager, trading company · Full invoice application audit
“The on-site walkthrough took longer than we hoped because month-end collided with day two, but the findings on approval thresholds were precise and we closed two of them the following week.”
— Kenji T., Finance Controller, manufacturer · Full invoice application audit
“We only booked the controls review. Hiroto mapped roles that let one clerk both create a vendor and release a non-PO invoice — something our IT access report had never grouped that way.”
— Rina O., Shared-service lead · Controls & access review
“Remediation follow-up confirmed our matching tolerance change stuck. One archive field was still optional; that mild disappointment was useful — we fixed it before year-end.”
— Daniel K., Internal control · Remediation follow-up
Engagement note: Import invoices after a module upgrade
A mid-size manufacturer near Kawasaki upgraded its invoice module and asked Wise Center to audit how import invoices moved from the broker portal into matching. Sample walkthroughs showed that currency fields defaulted to yen when the portal feed stalled, creating silent mismatches against the purchase order. Operators had been correcting lines by hand without a flag. The findings pack recommended a hard stop on currency blanks and a weekly exception list for the AP supervisor. Three weeks later, the remediation follow-up showed the stop in place; the exception list was still manual but in use.
