FINANCE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring uncertain invoice fields to a reviewer rather than letting a blank or failed reading disappear.

For a team with an authorized purpose, prepare an exception note for invoices with missing or uncertain fields so finance staff can resolve them against the source. Invoices contain private financial information, and a failed read can conceal a fraud signal or a routine scan problem. Protect the original, validate the supplier and amounts manually, avoid duplicating or discarding exceptions, restrict notifications, and require a finance owner to approve corrections and any payment. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain financial-data handling

State what is used, why, who can view it, and how long it is kept.

Define reconciliation and exception rules

Set currency, period, rounding, duplicate, discrepancy, and missing-record checks.

Restrict and expire financial copies

Use limited access and remove temporary records when they are no longer required.

Keep financial decisions human-led

Do not transfer money, file, charge, send a legal notice, or change a live record without explicit approval.
