Frequently Asked Questions

How can Deep Research help with vendor verification?

Deep Research compiles business registration, payment history, credit ratings, and tax compliance information. Use it to verify vendors before onboarding and monitor for risks.

What fraud indicators should I look for in invoices?

Watch for: duplicate submissions, amounts that don't match POs, vendor address/banking changes, unusual payment methods, round-number amounts, and requests outside normal patterns.

Where can I find AP policies and approval authority limits?

Library Docs contains company AP policies, approval matrices, vendor classification rules, and tax compliance requirements. Search your organization's policy library.

How do I optimize early-payment discounts?

Analyze vendor terms for discount rates (e.g., 2% net 10). Compare against your cost of capital. Pay early only if discount ROI exceeds borrowing cost. Track annual savings.

What compliance issues matter most in AP?

Critical: 1099 threshold tracking, sales tax handling, invoice documentation, approval trail, duplicate prevention, and vendor information accuracy. Maintain audit-ready records.
