Wait! Don’t approve that office supply invoice yet - Crawford Ellenbogen

Among other things, office supply scams con businesses into
paying for products they didn’t order. To prevent your company from falling
victim to phony invoice and fake promotional schemes, designate one or two
buyers to follow specific procedures for documenting and approving purchases.
Buyers should instruct vendors to include your company’s purchase order numbers
on shipment documents. When merchandise is received, they need to verify that
the invoice and box contents match. Only then should buyers send the bill of
lading to accounts payable for reconciliation with the order. Questions?
