تسرب الإيرادات من خلال أخطاء المبالغ والدفعات الجزئية غير المسجلة (Revenue Leakage: Mismatched Waiver & Payment Amounts)

2 verified sources

Definition

Common scenario: Invoice for AED 1.5M issued; AED 1.2M paid; retainage AED 300K withheld. Contractor signs conditional waiver for AED 1.2M (correct). Developer later claims full waiver covered AED 1.5M. Or: partial payment AED 500K made; waiver mistakenly shows AED 500K as final payment (retainage lost). Manual records create disputes.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: AED 500,000 - AED 5,000,000+ annually per AED 5B+ developer portfolio (1-3% of total waiver volume = AED 50M-AED 150M annual waivers across portfolio = AED 500K-AED 4.5M leakage)
  • Frequency: Per project; cumulative across portfolio of 4-10 active projects
  • Root Cause: Manual amount entry into waiver documents; no real-time invoice/payment reconciliation; retainage tracking separate from waiver system; no automated validation
