Manual processes cause: (1) Delayed invoicing (2-4 weeks), (2) Lost or duplicate invoices, (3) Missed milestone triggers, (4) Pricing errors on amended scopes. Search results identify 'Contract Review' and 'Revenue Cut-Off Testing' as high-risk manual procedures prone to omission errors.

Each audit cycle requires senior finance staff to manually review 50-100+ contracts, trace transactions to underlying evidence, and document control satisfaction.

₹30-80 lakhs blocked working capital per ₹20 crore annual revenue; ₹3-10 lakhs annual interest cost (12% p.a. on working capital)Manual 'Revenue Cut-Off Testing' (verifying services were delivered in the correct accounting period) requires confirming client acceptance before invoicing. In practice, consultants submit deliverables, clients review for 2-4 weeks, then finance manually traces back to revenue recognition date. This causes invoicing delays and extends DSO. For a ₹20 crore operations consulting firm with ₹1.5 crore monthly revenue, extending DSO by 15 days represents ₹7.5 crore × 15/365 = ₹30.8 lakhs in blocked working capital. Compounded with interest cost at 12% p.a., this equals ₹3.7 lakhs annual interest cost.
