Obtained base contract and spend data from company systems, and the consolidation and interpretation of this.

Data reconciled/compared with data received from the Vendor.

Checked samples, reconciled invoice accuracy, and aligned with contract terms and conditions and rates.

Calculated over/under charges supporting the case for recovery.

Analyzed root cause and control weaknesses (both vendor and client) which led to over/incorrect payment.

Checked for realization of bonuses/discounts, and most favored customer or similar clauses.

Identified over a million of over-charges by vendors.

The program was planned to be self-financing — often with contractual recoveries in excess of the costs of the program.

Successfully gathered evidence of collaboration between the vendor and sub-contractor in inflation of sub-contract invoices being recharged to the client.
