Summary

A meaningful comparison requires grouping similar transactions and reviewing the context. ACC aims to identify points that deserve further questions, not draw conclusions from a discrepancy alone. Early detection is meant to support proper checks, not suspicion of every transaction.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: An invoice with a higher unit price than the previous period makes the owner frown. The buyer explains that the specifications and delivery terms are different this time. The owner needs a fair comparison before asking who is responsible.

Three steps you can try

  1. Compare matching specifications, units, and time periods.
  2. Check quantities and delivery terms.
  3. Ask for the reason before drawing a conclusion.

What to remember

A meaningful comparison requires grouping similar transactions and reviewing the context. ACC aims to identify points that deserve further questions, not draw conclusions from a discrepancy alone. Early detection is meant to support proper checks, not suspicion of every transaction.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
