* Showing how to use Excel to identify potential duplicates.
* Explaining how to import AP data files into Excel.

Getting the Most From A Duplicate Payment Audit Firm
Purchase the CD ($159) here.
Once you’ve done everything you can to prevent duplicates and recover those that managed to slip by you in the first place, it’s time to call in the pros to make sure you didn’t miss anything. By hiring a firm that works on a contingency basis, the audit only costs you if they find anything. But therein lies the catch. Many organizations are reluctant to pay a fat fee to a recovery firm. The purpose of this program is to show you how to minimize the expense of hiring these firms while maximizing your recoveries. In this session, the speakers, Rich Lanza and Mary Schaeffer:
* Identify the pros and cons of using a third-party audit firm;
* Show you a way to find the high-dollar recoveries yourself for a few dollars and some elbow grease;
* Offer tips for hiring an audit firm;
* Tell you what you should expect from a good audit firm; and
* Discuss specialty auditors who find the additional savings in those hard-to-audit categories.
