How to Audit Procurement & Purchase-to-Pay

A six-step approach to auditing purchase-to-pay — supplier onboarding and bank changes, approvals, three-way matching, and analytics for duplicates, split purchases and overrides.

What you'll find inside

  • Why the P2P cycle matters and the outcome to aim for
  • A six-step approach from mapping request-to-payment to reviewing supplier performance and monitoring
  • Key risk areas: master data, bank changes, approvals, sourcing, price changes and PO/receipt/invoice matching
  • An auditor prompt and a quality check to test whether your evidence supports the conclusion
  • Worked example: analytics such as duplicate invoices, payments without PO and spend just below approval thresholds
  • Quick reference with practical reminders and a five-question mini self-check, including separating genuine emergencies from repeated “urgent” workarounds

Best for

  • Internal Auditors
