Fieldwork
How fieldwork runs
From kickoff to closing meeting — what happens when API Route Grid examines invoicing applications on site or in hybrid form.
Day 0 — Access and kickoff
We confirm entity list, chart of accounts touchpoints for invoices, and who can pull binders or exports. You appoint one finance contact who can answer matching questions the same day.
Days 1–2 — Map the invoice routes
We walk supplier intake, customer billing, credit note paths, and any clearing accounts. The map is short on purpose: it tells the sample where risk actually sits.
Mid engagement — Sample and test
Selected invoices are traced to orders, receipts, delivery notes, and journal applications. Exceptions land in a living register you can see during fieldwork, not only at the end.
Closing meeting
We present findings, proposed adjustments, and open items. Your team comments before we finalize the memorandum for management and, if you wish, your statutory auditor.
On site versus hybrid
Bangkok offices with organized paper packs are often fastest on site. Hybrid works when scans are complete and a clerk can retrieve originals within a few hours. We avoid fully remote work when cut-off depends on warehouse stamps that never left the dock office.
What we need from you
- Open invoice registers for the period
- Access badges or visitor clearance for our field team
- A quiet table near the records
- Permission to photograph evidence when paper cannot leave the room
After fieldwork
Final memoranda typically follow within five business days of the closing meeting. Remediation advisory can begin the following week if you want help clearing exceptions before the next close.
