Vendor spend verification is the process of validating that all charges from vendors align with contracts, platform policies, and actual delivery.

This includes:

• Advertising platforms
• SaaS tools
• Cloud infrastructure
• Payment providers

It ensures that what is billed is accurate, not just reported.

Invoice verification is the review of billed charges to confirm they are correct before or after payment.

It involves:

• Validating charges against platform rules
• Identifying discrepancies in invoiced amounts
• Confirming that billing reflects actual usage or delivery

It is a financial control function, not a reporting process.

Reporting shows activity.
Billing verification checks whether that activity should have been billed.

Most Systems:

• Track performance
• Summarize spend

They do not validate:

• Whether charges comply with platform policies
• Whether billing reflects actual delivery

Verification operates at the invoice level, not the reporting layer.

Vaudit verifies vendor billing across ads, SaaS, cloud, and payments.

It:

• Connects to vendor platforms 
• Validates charges against platform rules and contracts
• Identifies discrepancies
• Supports recovery through evidence-backed claims

It operates as a verification layer, not a reporting or optimization tool.

Vaudit covers vendor spend across:

• Advertising platforms (Google, Meta, DSPs)
• SaaS providers (Salesforce, Hubspot, Slack, Zoom, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace)
• Cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
• Payment processors

The system is designed to verify billing wherever vendor spend occurs.

Vaudit analyzes billing and usage data against:

• Platform policies
• Contract terms
• Billing logic and delivery patterns

Only discrepancies that clearly violate these standards are flagged.

All findings are evidence-backed and aligned with vendor-defined rules.

Reporting tools are designed to track performance, not validate billing accuracy.

They:

• Reflect platform-reported activity
• Aggregate spend and outcomes

They do not:

• Verify whether charges should have occurred
• Enforce contract terms
• Detect billing inconsistencies

As a result, discrepancies can exist even when reports appear accurate.

Traditional audits are:

• Periodic
• Manual
• Limited in scope

Vaudit provides:

• Continuous invoice verification
• Full coverage across vendor spend
• Validation against platform-level rules
• Documented evidence aligned with vendor policies

This allows discrepancies to be identified both before and after billing.

Onboarding involves connecting your vendor accounts in a read-only environment.

• Connect vendor platforms (ads, SaaS, cloud, payments)
• Vaudit pulls billing and usage data
• Verification begins across past and ongoing charges

No operational changes are required.
Audit starts immediately after connection.

No, with one implementation consideration.

• Vendor relationships are not affected
• For best performance, Vaudit is typically enabled on newly created Meta campaigns
• Applying it to an already active campaign may cause Meta to re-enter the learning phase while delivery
  re-optimizes

All findings are validated against vendor policies and contracts.

No.

There are:

• No retainers
• No subscriptions
• No upfront fees

Costs are incurred only after verified financial recovery.

Recovery varies by vendor, spend structure, and account history.

Across audited accounts, billing verification has identified discrepancies in the range of:

• 3–10% of vendor spend

These are not performance improvements.
They are billing corrections that would not be identified through reporting systems.

Results begin immediately after connection.

• Historical charges are audited and submitted for recovery right away
• Refund timelines depend on vendor processing

Verification continues across all future charges to prevent incorrect billing.
