DO WHAT YOU CAN!
ACTION PLAN
JOHN J. HALL
Each day, managers review and approve thousands of invoices, contractor statements,
time sheets, expense reimbursements, purchasing card details, and other documents
that cause cash to be disbursed. All too often, that approval becomes a “rubber stamp”
with little active thought about what the approval step really means. “Signatures without
thought” make it easy for those who are trying to fool us. Approval of transactions that
turn out to be fraudulent can be embarrassing at best and career limiting at worst!
Managers are encouraged to answer these basic questions before approving invoices
and other payment documents. All address the general question of:
1. How well do I know this vendor or contractor? Do I have first hand knowledge that
they even exist!
2. Do I know that they actually provided the goods or services identified in the invoice
or other billing statement?
3. Do I know that they are using the correct amounts for price (including unit prices
used), sales tax, freight, and other variables that make up the amount invoiced?
4. On what basis do I know that the prices are reasonable in the first place? What
standard have I used in determining that the price charged is fair?
5. How do I know that the quantities make sense? On what basis have we agreed to
purchase the stated quantities?
6. How do I know that the invoice and other documents are mathematically correct?
7. Do I know that this invoice has not already been paid?

they turn instead for advice and information to the people
in their lives who they respect, admire and trust.”
