Post-Implementation Review

Post-Implementation Review

An eInvoicing implementation does not end at go-live. Organisations need to confirm that their systems, processes, data, controls and teams are operating as intended and continue to meet applicable requirements.

The period following eInvoicing implementation is critical. New processes need to operate effectively, system integrations need to perform as expected, transaction data needs to remain reliable and finance teams need appropriate controls and procedures.

                  Ask Our Team
                  01What is a Post-Implementation Review?

                  It is an independent assessment performed after implementation to determine whether the eInvoicing systems, processes, data and controls are operating as intended.

                  02When should a review be performed?

                  It can be performed after sufficient transaction activity has occurred to allow the new environment to be meaningfully assessed. The appropriate timing depends on the complexity and scale of the implementation.

                  03Is this an audit?

                  Not necessarily. A Post-Implementation Review is an advisory assessment, unless a separate audit or assurance engagement has been specifically agreed.

                  04Does the review include system testing?

                  Where included within the agreed scope, we can perform targeted testing of relevant system functionality, integrations, workflows and controls.

                  05Will you review our invoice data?

                  Yes. Subject to scope and data availability, the review can consider transaction and master data quality, consistency and processing.

                  06What happens after the review?

                  Management receives prioritised findings and recommendations that can be translated into a remediation and optimisation plan.
