Finance & admin teams · 4 practical checks

4 checks for a paper trail your finance team can follow

Keep a sample invoice, its reviewed fields and the next owner connected through the handover.

  1. Choose the source fields the reviewer needs

    Take two sample invoices with different layouts and ask the reviewer to trace invoice number, tax and total back to each original. Flag a field that requires a manual check.

  2. Keep a copy of the document with its context

    Attach a fictional supplier invoice to the relevant record with the agreement that explains it. Ask a colleague to find the original and the person responsible for the next action.

  3. Link a quote change to the version accepted

    Rehearse one change in scope or price and save the final agreed quote. Check where the team finds that version when they need to match it to later paperwork.

  4. Check the import file with someone who uses it

    Use a sample export in a copy of your spreadsheet. Review date formats, values and totals together, and agree the checks a colleague should repeat after each batch.
