Ap Recovery Audit information

What is an AP recovery audit?

An AP (Accounts Payable) Recovery Audit is a financial review process where a company’s accounts payable transactions are analyzed to identify and recover overpayments, duplicate payments, missed discounts, or other payment errors. Typically performed by specialized auditors or third-party firms, the audit helps organizations reclaim lost funds and improve internal controls. This process not only recovers money but also provides insights to prevent future payment mistakes and optimize financial operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AP recovery audit specialist?

To thrive as an AP Recovery Audit Specialist, you need strong analytical skills, knowledge of accounts payable processes, and experience with financial reconciliation, usually supported by a degree in accounting or finance. Familiarity with ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, data analysis tools such as Excel, and sometimes certification in auditing or accounting is important. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for detecting discrepancies and collaborating with vendors and internal teams. These skills ensure accurate financial recovery, minimize losses, and support organizational integrity in managing payables.

What are some common challenges faced in an AP recovery audit role, and how can candidates prepare for them?

One of the main challenges in an AP Recovery Audit role is accurately identifying discrepancies and overpayments within large volumes of financial data. This can require strong attention to detail, persistence, and familiarity with various accounting systems. Candidates should be prepared to work independently as well as collaborate with AP teams and vendors to resolve issues. Proactively developing strong analytical skills and knowledge of common invoice processing errors can help you succeed in this role.

Job description

We have an outstanding career opportunity for an Accounts Payable Manager to join a leading Company located in the Glen Allen, VA surrounding area.

Salary: $90K to $100K

The Accounts Payable Manager owns end-to-end accounts payable operation across all entities: invoice processing and payment execution in ERP(s), vendor master governance, payment-fraud controls, month-end and fiscal year-end close deliverables, and the development of the AP team.  The role is accountable for the accuracy, timeliness, and control integrity within the department, and partners daily with Treasury on payment planning and cash-flow inputs.

Job Responsibilities:  
  • Own daily accounts payable in ERP(s): invoice intake, coding review, approval routing, and timely posting across all entities; resolve exceptions and vendor inquiries at the root.
  • Payment execution.  Manage weekly payment runs (check, ACH, wire): assemble the proposed run with Treasury cash guidance, enforce approval thresholds and dual release, and deliver payment-plan inputs to support the weekly, automated Projected Cash for Supplier AP process.
  • Vendor master governance.  
  • Own vendor onboarding (W-9 / TIN validation and bank-detail verification).
  • Payment-fraud controls.  
  • Enforce independent callback verification for every vendor banking-detail change; process factoring and assignment notices and payment redirects in coordination with Legal and Treasury; investigate any misdirected payment through to recovery and root cause.
  • Unapplied payments and vendor statements.  
  • Drive the open unapplied-payment population to resolution and keep it immaterial; run monthly statement reconciliations for high-volume suppliers; keep deductions, debit memos, and claim offsets documented and matched.
  • Own the AP side of month-end and fiscal year-end close: key understanding of subledger-to-GL tie-out, AP aging review, accruals for received-not-invoiced activity and open card cycles, and adherence to the June fiscal year-end cutoff calendar.
  • Information reporting (1099).  Deliver accurate year-end 1099 reporting, maintain W-9 file completeness, and handle related correspondence.
  • Controls and audit.  Maintain segregation of duties within AP, keep SOPs current, deliver audit items on schedule, and remediate findings promptly.
  • Team leadership.  Hire, train, and develop the AP team.  Set clear expectations, balanced workloads, cross-training for coverage, and proactive performance management.
  • Lead the weekly AP aging report review to optimize cash flow management, identify dispute bottlenecks, minimize late fees, and foster strong vendor relationships.
  • Continuous improvement.  
  • Advance automation of invoice capture and workflow, and partner with Treasury and IT on payment-method upgrades.
  • Trains staff on all processes and procedures.
  • Generates standard reports as needed.
  • Performs additional duties as assigned.

Basic Hiring Criteria:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 5-7+ years of progressive accounts payable experience, including 2+ years supervising an AP team.
  • ERP proficiency required; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV strongly preferred.
  • High-volume, multi-entity environment experience; distribution, or beverage-alcohol industry a plus.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel; expense-platform administration (Emburse Certify or Concur) a plus.
  • Working knowledge of 1099 reporting and AP internal controls; CAPP certification a plus.
  • Demonstrated effective verbal and written communication; highly organized and detail-oriented.
 
 Benefits offered vary by contract. Depending on your temporary assignment, benefits may include direct deposit, free career counseling services, 401(k), select paid holidays, short-term disability insurance, skills training, employee referral bonus, and affordable medical coverage plan, and DailyPay (in some locations). For a full description of benefits available to you, be sure to talk with your recruiter.
