• Reverse accruals - CAT allows for certain accruals to be automatically reversed based on pre-defined criteria or manually reversed according to your internal processes and procedures.
   
• Create accruals manually or though CAT's predefined accrual audit rules. - CAT provides some configurable predefined Audit Rules that will automatically generate accruals for items that are under-billed or not billed at all.

Need Supervisors to Sign-Off on Completed Audits?

The Cost Audit Tool allows the user to create an Approval Voucher detailing the amount approved for payment, vendor information and requestor information for Accounts Payable check generation.

The Approval Vouchers generated by CAT contain useful information for internal or external consumption. Information about the invoice includes the invoice date, the invoice due date and the approved and disputed amounts for the invoice. From a detailed summary of the general ledger codes used to Vendor and Billing Account Information, the Approval Voucher can be customized to fit your company's needs.

Maintain all Reference Data

The Cost Audit Tool provides extensive table maintenance allowing the user to easily configure reference data in the system.

There is a large amount of reference data, usually company specific, that goes into making CAT function properly. For example:

Vendor Information AP Payment Center Information BAN Information Contact Information General Ledger Codes Auditor Information Auditing rules Dispute Categories Dispute Reasons Dispute Resolution Types

Contract Types Facility Types Agreement Reference Information Roles and Secured Access Market Information End Offices USOC's by Vendor Vendor Phrase Codes Automated Mapping Configuration Much, Much, More

These types of reference data need to be stored in CAT. CAT provides an extensive Table Maintenance interface that allows easy maintainability of these as well as other reference data used by CAT.
