Finds the payments your exact-match control was never going to catch
Duplicate payments are the most reliably recoverable money in any finance function, and almost every organisation has them. Not through carelessness — the controls that exist only catch the easy case.
An accounts payable system blocks the same invoice number from the same supplier twice. That check is exact, and duplicates almost never are. The invoice arrives by email and again by post, keyed once as "INV-4471" and once as "4471". The supplier is set up twice under slightly different names, so the system sees two suppliers. A credit note is applied against the wrong invoice, leaving the right one open to be paid again. An invoice is paid on account and again against a purchase order. A payment run is rerun after a bank rejection and the successful half goes out twice.
Every one of those passes an exact-match control, and every one is visible to a check that compares amount, date proximity and supplier identity rather than reference strings.
The other half of the value is the window. Suppliers do not report being overpaid — the credit sits on their ledger, and if the relationship ends before it is used, the money is gone.
This agent finds them and gives you the evidence. It recovers nothing itself and contacts no supplier: a recovery request is a conversation with someone you depend on.
It was already yours, and the evidence is unarguable.
So the next one is prevented rather than found later.
A credit on a dormant supplier's ledger is usually lost.
"INV-4471" and "4471" are the same invoice. Every exact-match control in every AP system sees two.
One supplier set up twice under slightly different names. The system sees two, and blocks nothing.
A credit posted against the wrong invoice leaves the right one open, and it gets paid again.
A run repeated after a bank rejection, where the half that succeeded goes out twice.
A live supplier with ongoing volume is recoverable. A dormant one is a much harder conversation.
It contacts no supplier and raises no claim. A recovery request is a conversation, not a transaction.
Why Finance & Accounting in particular. Real duplicates are never exact — that is why they got through. 'INV-4471' and '4471', one supplier set up twice, a rerun payment batch. And suppliers never report being overpaid.
Runs unattended
Started by you or by an event, and it finishes on its own. Nothing waits for someone to be at a desk.
The same standard every time
The two-hundredth item is held to the bar the first one was. Consistency is the part people cannot sustain.
It cannot act on its own
Duplicate Payment Auditor has no path to sending, spending or committing. That limit is why its output is safe to act on.
This agent runs server-side through the PROMIVO runtime. Each run is logged step by step and every tool call is permission-checked before it executes.
Read-only by design. This agent has no path to sending, spending, publishing or committing anything. Where that limit is the product, removing it would remove the reason to trust the output.

No. It never contacts a supplier or raises a claim. Asking for money back is a conversation with someone you depend on, and the tone belongs to a person.
Those match exactly on invoice number and supplier. Real duplicates almost never match exactly — that is the entire reason they got through.
Some, deliberately. A legitimate recurring charge of the same amount to the same supplier looks like a duplicate, so it reports confidence and the reason rather than filtering them out silently. A missed duplicate costs more than one to check.
