Here is an unfortunate truth. Every business has suffered from paying a vendor twice for the same product or service. And when you find out about it, assuming you do, it can be maddening! So, here are three things you need to make sure you do in order to prevent that from happening to you. Make sure you have:

  1. An accounting system setup that will not allow duplicate invoice numbers
  2. A documented Standard Operating Procedure for entering invoices into your accounting system
  3. A professional accounting person who won’t try to circumvent your policies and systems
