    Map the current vendor process, identify gaps that create duplicate vendors, bad data, or fraud exposure, then define an improved future-state process with clearer handoffs and controls

    Correct errors, remove or merge duplicates, validate key data fields, and document clean data standards so you pay the right vendor and reduce downstream payment issues.
