Payroll Variance & Exception Review for Forensic Accountants with Excel
The Problem
For Fraud Investigation teams, payroll runs through IDEA include silent errors — wrong pay rates, missing PTO deductions, duplicate bonuses — that only surface when an employee complains.
What We Build in Excel
AI diffs each payroll run against the prior period, flags any variance over 5% or unusual one-time items, and holds them for approval — payroll errors caught pre-run, not post-deposit. Purpose-built for teams running Excel — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Excel Integration Approach
Audit your Excel configuration
We map the specific Excel objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your fraud investigation practice.
Build on the Excel API or agent
Integration happens inside Excel — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Excel with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
