The 10-Point Voice-to-Invoice Audit Checklist

Client name and spelling are correct

Voice and AI capture can mishear names. Confirm the client and your own business name are spelled exactly right — a wrong name can invalidate the invoice for the client's records.

Amounts, quantities and totals match what you said

Check every figure. Spoken numbers like 'fifteen' and 'fifty' are easily confused, and a misplaced decimal changes the total. Verify unit prices, quantities, subtotal, and grand total.

Dates were parsed correctly

Confirm the invoice date and any service or delivery dates. 'The 3rd' or 'next Tuesday' can be interpreted in different formats, especially across regions (DD/MM vs MM/DD).

The invoice is attached to the right client account

When you have similar client names, make sure the AI matched the correct saved contact and billing address — not a near-duplicate.

The correct currency is applied

For cross-border work, confirm the invoice currency and any exchange-rate display requirements. The wrong currency can delay payment or cause tax reporting issues.

Tax / VAT rate and treatment are right

Verify the tax rate and treatment (standard, reduced, exempt, or reverse charge). AI may default to a rate that doesn't fit the transaction or the client's location.

All legally required fields are present

Different countries mandate specific fields — tax numbers, a required 'Tax invoice' label, supplier details, and more. Confirm the invoice meets the rules for the client's country.

The invoice number is unique and sequential

Automated tools can occasionally duplicate or skip numbers. Most tax regimes require unique, sequential numbering — check there are no gaps or repeats.

Payment terms, due date and late-fee clause are set

Confirm the payment term (e.g. Net 14), the calculated due date, accepted payment methods, and any late-payment interest clause. Clear terms are the simplest way to get paid on time.

A human reviewed it, and there's an audit trail

Never let an invoice go out fully unchecked. Do a final human review, and keep a record of what was generated and edited so you can trace any dispute later.
