AR integrity review

Do invoice, payment, deposit, and balance records tell the same story?

Trace receivables from invoice through payment and deposit, including partially paid and closed-with-balance exceptions.

Inputs

  • Invoices
  • Payments
  • Deposits and balances

Outputs

  • Matched chain
  • Broken links
  • Balance exposure

Checks performed

  • Invoice-to-payment match
  • Payment-to-deposit match
  • Status-versus-balance conflict

Guided synthetic example

See the check from input to decision

An invoice is marked closed even though its recorded payments do not cover the invoice total.

This is the operating model we use at Level. The percentages are estimated shares of the work in a typical review. Actual effort varies with data quality, complexity, and the issue found.

Run the deterministic check

About 20% of work

Recompute the invoice balance from invoice and payment records, then compare money state with workflow status.

Needs review

INV-901 is closed with a computed $2,500 remaining balance.

4

Use recorded finance judgment to analyze possible reasons

About 25% of work

At Level, we record the review logic, known explanations, and questions our finance professionals use in this situation. AI applies that documented human judgment to organize the most plausible reasons, without pretending it knows which reason is true.

Possible reasons to investigate

The difference could be a write-off, credit, missing payment, migration issue, or an incorrect status.

5

Make the final human judgment

About 20% of work

A Level finance professional validates the source evidence, challenges the AI-assisted analysis, and decides which explanation is supported.

Was a credit or write-off authorized?
Is a payment missing from the source?
Which system controls the final status?
6

Make the operating decision

About 10% of work

Trace payment, credit, and write-off evidence before correcting the receivable or documenting the resolution.

Use this system

Start with the example, then inspect the structure

  1. Download the invented input and expected output.
  2. Replace one field at a time with a safe test value.
  3. Compare the result with the expected structure.
  4. Have a finance professional review every exception before acting.

Human review is part of the system

This check organizes evidence and surfaces exceptions. A person with finance domain expertise still needs to interpret the result, validate the source records, and discuss the operating decision.
