STEP 1 — ABN check: Per supplier invoice — ABN listed? Verify against ABN Lookup. If no ABN — apply 47% no-ABN withholding (mandatory under AU tax).

STEP 2 — Tax invoice check (per ATO substantiation): Per supplier invoice over $82.50 inc GST — must include — supplier ABN, supplier name, invoice date, invoice number, description of supply, amount, GST amount or GST-inclusive total + words 'tax invoice'.

STEP 3 — GST treatment: Per line item — taxable (10% GST), GST-free (food, education, health), input-taxed (financial services, residential rent), out of scope (employee wages). Verify treatment matches the supply.

STEP 4 — Customer invoice (issued by us): Same checks — our ABN, our name, the invoice number, description, GST amount + 'tax invoice'. Plus payment terms + bank details.

STEP 5 — Reconciliation: Pull from {{accounting_software}} — match every entered invoice to physical/digital evidence. Flag missing receipts.

STEP 6 — Exception report: Invoices missing required elements + the action needed (request a corrected invoice from supplier; reissue if our error).

STEP 7 — Report: Per period — compliance rate, exceptions outstanding, value at risk if claims disallowed.

OUTPUT: Per-invoice compliance status + exception list + remediation actions + period report.
