Monthly bank fee analysis workbook and treasury cost tracker — "Undetected bank fee creep totaling tens of thousands annually across corporate accounts"
Why the manual spreadsheet breaks financial controls and how a deterministic workflow replaces it.
Bank fees are read off fifteen monthly statements and typed into a fee analysis workbook, so a rate change on one account is only caught if someone compares this month's line to last month's by eye.
Fee creep accumulates across accounts because charges are booked as incurred rather than tested against the fee schedule, and treasury cannot show which services the company pays for or at what rate.
EDI 822 account analysis ingestion that parses every service line and volume by account, with an audit daemon that compares billed rates to the negotiated schedule and flags increases and unused services.
Fee assertion: each billed service line must match a negotiated rate for that service and account, and a line with no schedule match or a higher rate is flagged before the fee expense posts.
Three-stage comparison between manual workbook reconciliation and automated rule-based execution.
Fee lines retyped from PDFs and compared to last month by eye.
Fee increases accumulate across accounts because nothing tests billed rates against the schedule.
EDI 822 analysis files are parsed and every service line is tested against the rate card.
Every fee line reconciles to a negotiated rate or is flagged, so creep is caught on the first statement.
