A checklist for catching duplicate reimbursement claims before money moves.

Duplicate expense claims usually appear because the same proof is submitted twice, not because the finance process is maliciously attacked. A short checklist catches most of them before payout.
Short answer
Compare invoice number, merchant, date, amount, currency, and source context together. One matching field is weak. Several matching fields at once deserve review.
The payout checklist
- Check whether the invoice number repeats
- Compare merchant names after normalization
- Look at the receipt date
- Confirm currency and amount
- Review whether the same proof was uploaded more than once
