Prices for technology goods for our client changed multiple times during the year. And those prices were not always updated on a timely basis for invoicing purposes, resulting in goods being overbilled. The contract stipulated that any price decreases would be reflected on all outstanding deliveries and subsequent orders, but in reality, they were not.
Additionally, it was discovered that the foreign exchange rate being used on non-domestic purchases was not consistent with the method detailed in the contract. It was also determined that purchases for items not on the standards list were not being discounted.
Our team recommended process changes for both the supplier and our client to enhance invoice and invoice verification controls. As well, we recommended procedures to improve the process of updated price changes on both open and future orders.
