Payment Run Release Approval and Dual Authorisation Audit
Review payment batch approvals for dual authorisation, bank limits, last-minute changes and evidence kept, with gaps by severity.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Review the control trail around our payment runs. I will paste, for [NUMBER_OF_RUNS] payment runs, the batch id, date, total value, number of payments, who prepared it, who approved it, who released it at the bank, time of each step, changes made after approval, and whether a payment proposal report was retained: [PAYMENT_RUN_LOG]. Bank release limits and our policy: [LIMITS_AND_POLICY]. Test and present: 1) A run-by-run table with the columns Batch, Total, Prepared by role, Approved by role, Released by role, Roles distinct (yes or no), Changed after approval, Evidence kept, and Exception. 2) Counts and percentages for runs with fewer than two independent people, runs above a single approver's limit, late-night or weekend releases, and edits after approval. 3) A comparison of totals between the proposal and the bank file, if I provide both, showing the arithmetic of any difference. 4) Where evidence is missing and what to retain in future. 5) Recommendations ranked by risk reduction, including a rule for urgent payments and who may authorise them. Rules: use only the pasted log. Label unusual items as requiring follow-up, never as proof of wrongdoing. Do not assume the bank's features; mark bank portal controls [VERIFY]. This is a controls review aid and not an audit opinion or banking advice. Do not release, alter or cancel any payment.
