Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] <Network Configuration> Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram including the examination support device 100 of this embodiment. The examination support device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a computer that improves the efficiency and quality in the examination work of the content of claim payment.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the examination support device 100 of this embodiment is communicably connected to the user terminal 200 and the accounting system 300 via the network 1. Therefore, these may be collectively referred to as the examination support system 10.

[0016] The scrutiny support device 100 of this embodiment is a device that provides a scrutiny support service for the content of invoice payments, and can be said to be a business support system operated by, for example, a company where invoice payment operations occur.

[0017] On the other hand, the user terminal 200 is a terminal used when employees of the above-mentioned company use the scrutiny support service. Specifically, in addition to personal computers, smartphones, and tablet terminals, office multifunction devices that can be operated by employees can also be assumed.

[0018] Such a user terminal 200 appropriately exchanges data with systems such as the scrutiny support device 100 and the accounting system 300 of the company via an appropriately secure network 1 such as an in-house LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] On the other hand, the accounting system 300 is one of the business systems mainly managed and operated by the finance department of the above-mentioned company, and is a system that receives and manages payment request application data input by employees operating the user terminal 200. Such an accounting system 300 may also integrally include the functions of the scrutiny support device 100. <Hardware Configuration> Also, the hardware configuration of the scrutiny support device 100 of this embodiment is as follows in FIG. 2. That is, the scrutiny support device 100 includes a storage device 101, a memory 103, an arithmetic device 104, and a communication device 105.

[0020] Among these, the storage device 101 is composed of an appropriate non-volatile memory element such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) or a hard disk drive.

[0021] Also, the memory 103 is composed of a volatile memory element such as a RAM.

[0022] Also, the arithmetic device 104 loads the program 102 held in the storage device 101 into the memory 10 It is a CPU that reads and executes, for example, to 3 to perform overall control of the apparatus itself and perform various determinations, calculations, and control processes.

[0023] Further, the communication device 105 is connected to the network 1 and is assumed to be a network interface card or the like that is responsible for communication processing with the user terminal 200 and the accounting system 300.

[0024] In addition, when the scrutiny support device 100 is integrated with the accounting system 300 and operates as a stand-alone machine, it is preferable to further include an input device that receives key input and voice input from employees who are users, and an output device such as a display that displays processed data.

[0025] In addition, in the storage device 101, in addition to the program 102 for implementing the functions necessary for the scrutiny support device of the present embodiment, an application data DB 125 and an invoice image file DB 126 are at least stored. However, details of these databases will be described later. <Example of data structure> Subsequently, various types of information used by the scrutiny support device 100 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the application data DB 125 in the present embodiment.

[0026] The application data DB 125 of the present embodiment is a database that stores payment request application data received from the user terminal 200 in the accounting system 300.

[0027] This application data DB 125 is, for example, a set of records that associates values such as an application number, a supplier code, and a supplier name as header information, and a detail number, an account item code, a detail amount, and a tax code as one or more details associated with the header information.

[0028] Figure 4 also shows an example of the form image file DB126 in this embodiment. The form image file DB126 of this embodiment is a database that stores recognition results generated by the scanning operations of employees on the invoice (paper) and the application ledger (paper) created for the invoice.

[0029] This form image file DB126 is, for example, a collection of linked records that associates each value of the consumption tax amount, taxable amount, non-taxable amount, consumption tax amount (8%), consumption tax amount (10%), internal tax amount (8%), and internal tax amount (10%) with each value of the application ledger title, total entertainment expenses, accounting item, number of people outside the company, and food and beverage expenses as values recognized from the photographed images of the invoice and the application ledger, which are the sources of reading. <Flow Example: Tax Classification Check> Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the examination support method in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Various operations corresponding to the examination support method described below are realized by a program that the examination support device 100 reads into a memory or the like and executes. And this program is composed of codes for performing various operations described below.

[0030] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the tax classification check process in this embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a flow example of the examination support method in this embodiment. In this case, the examination support device 100 confirms whether the tax code (tax rate) set in the payment request application data is appropriate based on the tax rate in the invoice and the tax rate of the payment request application data.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5, for example, in the item of "consumption tax amount" obtained by scanning and character recognition processing of the invoice (paper) of the target case (and stored in the form image file DB125). Among the items, a consumption tax item with a value other than 0 is set. In this case, "8%" is specified as the tax rate defined on the invoice.

[0032] Therefore, the audit support device 100 identifies the tax rate "8%" (s1). On the other hand, with respect to the case, it refers to the payment request application data stored in the application data DB125, and identifies the value of the tax rate indicated by the "tax code" item, which is "8%" in this case (s2).

[0033] Subsequently, the audit support device 100 determines whether the respective values of the tax rates obtained in s1 and s2 are the same (i.e., a predetermined correspondence) (s3).

[0034] As a result of the above determination, when the respective values of the above tax rates are the same as each other, that is, when a predetermined correspondence is recognized (s3: Y), the audit support device 100 identifies that the tax code (tax rate) set in the payment request application data is valid, and generates an audit result corresponding thereto (see, for example, FIG. 21. The same applies hereinafter) (s4), and ends the process.

[0035] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, when the respective values of the above tax rates are not the same as each other, that is, when a predetermined correspondence is not recognized (s3: N), the audit support device 100 identifies that the tax code (tax rate) set in the payment request application data is not valid, and generates an audit result corresponding thereto (see, for example, FIG. 21. The same applies hereinafter) (s5), and ends the process. <Flow Example: Verification of Account Validity by Industry> FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the verification of account validity by industry in the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a flow example of the audit support method in the present embodiment. In this case, the audit support device 100 refers to the payment request application data of a predetermined case in the application data DB125, and identifies its account item code (s10).

[0036] In the example of FIG. 7, two account item codes, "12345 (transportation fee)" and "56789 (transportation guarantee fee)", will be identified.

[0037] Subsequently, the audit support apparatus 100 refers to the value of the "vendor code" in the payment request application data (e.g., HU001 (Hitachi Transportation)), and refers to a group of valid account item codes for the business type indicated by a part or all of this value (e.g., U001) (identified by the correspondence table between the vendor code and the business that the audit support apparatus 100 holds in advance) (s11). It is assumed that the audit support apparatus 100 holds such a group of account item codes in the storage device 101 and can refer to them at any time.

[0038] Subsequently, the audit support apparatus 100 determines whether the account item code specified in s10 is included in the group of account item codes referred to in s11 (s12).

[0039] As a result of the above determination, if it is confirmed that at least one of the account item codes in the payment request application data, that is, "12345" and "56789", is included in the group of account item codes (s12: Y), the audit support apparatus 100 generates an audit result that confirms the validity of the account item code (s13) and ends the process.

[0040] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if it is confirmed that neither of the account item codes in the payment request application data, that is, "12345" and "56789", is included in the group of account item codes (s12: N), the audit support apparatus 100 generates an audit result that confirms the invalidity of the account item code (s14) and ends the process. <Flow Example: Voucher-by-Voucher Account Validity Check> FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of voucher-by-voucher account validity check processing in the present embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the audit support method in the present embodiment. In this case, The audit support apparatus 100 refers to the voucher image file of the target case in the voucher image file DB 126 and refers to the "voucher ledger title" among the values related to the application ledger (s20). In the example of FIG. 9, it is possible to refer to the value of "entertainment expense ledger".

[0041] Subsequently, the examination support apparatus 100 refers to the payment request application data related to the case in the application data DB 125, and identifies each value such as, for example, "12345 (transportation expenses)" and "00001 (entertainment expenses)" as the account item code (s21).

[0042] Subsequently, the examination support apparatus 100 determines whether the keyword (e.g., entertainment expenses) included in the application ledger title specified in s20 is included in any of the values of the specified keywords related to the account item code specified in s21, that is, determines whether the application ledger title and the account item code are in a predetermined correspondence relationship (s22).

[0043] Further, when the correspondence relationship is recognized by the above determination (s22: Y), the examination support apparatus 100 generates an examination result that confirms the validity of the account item code in the payment request application data associated with the above application ledger (s23), and ends the process.

[0044] On the other hand, when the correspondence relationship is not recognized by the above determination (s22: N), the examination support apparatus 100 generates an examination result indicating that the validity of the account item code in the payment request application data associated with the above application ledger could not be confirmed (s24), and ends the process. <Flow example: Indirect expense check ~ Voucher check ~> FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the indirect expense check (voucher check) process in the present embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a flow example of the examination support method in the present embodiment. In this case, the examination support apparatus 100 refers to the account item code in the payment request application data of the target case in the application data DB 125, and determines whether it is specified that an attachment of the application ledger is required for the payment request application (s30).

[0045] In this determination, the examination support apparatus 100 presumes that a list of account item codes for which an application ledger is required is held in advance in the storage device 101 and is available. Here, for example, it is assumed that an application ledger attachment is required for the account item codes related to entertainment expenses.

[0046] Therefore, in the above determination, when the audit support device 100 determines that the attachment requirement of the application ledger is met for the payment request application (s31: Y), it searches for the existence of an application ledger whose title contains a keyword specified in advance for the account item code in the corresponding record of the form image file DB126 of the storage device 101 (s32).

[0047] As a result of the above search, if the existence of the corresponding application ledger is confirmed (s33: Y), the audit support device 100 generates an audit result that confirms the validity of the (attached) application ledger (s34) and ends the process.

[0048] On the other hand, as a result of the above search, if the existence of the corresponding application ledger is not confirmed (s33: N), the audit support device 100 generates an audit result indicating that the validity of the (attached) application ledger could not be confirmed (s35) and ends the process. <Flow Example: Indirect Expense Check ~ Entertainment Expense Check ~> FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the indirect expense check (entertainment expense check) process in the present embodiment, and FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a flow example of the audit support method in the present embodiment.

[0049] In this case, the audit support device 100 refers to the form image file of the target case in the form image file DB126, and extracts the value of "entertainment expense" (predetermined service usage fee) from the recognition result regarding the application ledger (s40). In the example of FIG. 13, the value of "7,500 yen per person" is extracted as the "entertainment expense". Here, it is assumed that the application ledger is, for example, related to a "customer appreciation party".

[0050] Subsequently, the audit support device 100 refers to the payment request application data regarding the above target case in the application data DB125, and checks whether the account item code set in the payment request application data is the one specified in advance for the "entertainment expense" of the above "customer appreciation party", that is, whether "00003 (Special entertainment expense)" is set, and checks the usage limit amount specified in advance for the account item code (s41).

[0051] In the example of FIG. 13, as the account item code in the payment request application data, "00003 (entertainment expenses (special))" is set, and it is possible to confirm the preset usage limit amount of "10,000 yen" for that account item code.

[0052] Therefore, the scrutiny support device 100 determines whether the value of "food and beverage expenses", that is, "7,500 yen / person", described in the application ledger is within the above-mentioned usage limit amount of "10,000 yen", that is, whether it is in the preset correspondence relationship (s42).

[0053] As a result of the above determination, if the preset correspondence relationship is recognized (s42: Y), the scrutiny support device 100 generates a scrutiny result that confirms the validity of the account item code for the food and beverage expenses (s43) and ends the process.

[0054] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the preset correspondence relationship is not recognized (s42: N), the scrutiny support device 100 generates a scrutiny result indicating that the validity of the account item code for the food and beverage expenses cannot be confirmed (s44) and ends the process. <Flow Example: Indirect Expense Check ~ Accounting Item Check ~> FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the indirect expense check (accounting item check) process in the present embodiment, and FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a flow example of the scrutiny support method in the present embodiment. In this case, the scrutiny support device 100 refers to the record of the target case in the form image file DB 126 and extracts the value of the accounting item included in the recognition result regarding the application ledger (s50).

[0055] In the example of FIG. 15, two accounting items of "12345 (transportation expenses)" and "00003 (entertainment expenses (general))" will be extracted.

[0056] Subsequently, the examination support device 100 refers to the payment request application data in the application data DB 125 for the above-mentioned target case, and extracts the account item codes set therein (s51). In the example of FIG. 15, two accounting items, "12345 (transportation expenses)" and "00003 (entertainment expenses (general))", will be extracted.

[0057] Also, the examination support device 100 determines whether the values extracted in each of s50 and s51 match, that is, whether they are the same (s52).

[0058] As a result of the above determination, if it is recognized that they are the same (s52: Y), the examination support device 100 generates an examination result that confirms the validity of the above-mentioned accounting item or account item code (s53), and ends the process.

[0059] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if it is not recognized that they are the same (s52: N), the examination support device 100 generates an examination result indicating that it could not confirm the validity of the above-mentioned accounting item or account item code (s54), and ends the process. <Flow Example: Indirect Expense Check ~ Entertainment Expense Total Check ~> FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the indirect expense check (entertainment expense total check) process in the present embodiment, and FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a flow example of the examination support method in the present embodiment. In this case, the examination support device 100 refers to the invoice image file of the application ledger for the target case in the invoice image file DB 126, and extracts, for example, the value of "total entertainment expenses", for example, "5000 yen" (s60).

[0060] Subsequently, the examination support device 100 refers to the payment request application data for the above-mentioned target case in the application data DB 125, and refers to the account item code including "entertainment expenses" containing the above-mentioned character of "total entertainment expenses" and its detailed amount (s61).

[0061] In the example of FIG. 17, for the account item code "00002 (entertainment expenses)", the values of "3000 yen" and "2000 yen" of the detailed amount will be referred to.

[0062] Further, the audit support device 100 determines whether the value extracted in s60, that is, "5000 yen", is the same as the total amount of the detailed amounts referred to in s61, that is, "3000 yen + 2000 yen = 5000 yen" (s62).

[0063] As a result of the above determination, if it is recognized that they are the same (s62: Y), the audit support device 100 generates an audit result that confirms the validity of the application ledger for the above-mentioned entertainment expenses and the content set in the payment request application data for the entertainment expenses (s63), and ends the process.

[0064] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if it is not recognized that they are the same (s62: N), the audit support device 100 generates an audit result indicating that it could not confirm the validity of the application ledger for the above-mentioned entertainment expenses and the content set in the payment request application data for the entertainment expenses (s64), and ends the process. <Flow Example: Indirect Expense Check ~ Usage Classification Check ~> FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a conceptual example of the indirect expense check (usage classification check) process in this embodiment, and FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a flow example of the audit support method in this embodiment.

[0065] In this case, the audit support device 100 refers to the payment request application data for the target case in the application data DB125 and extracts the value of the supplier name set therein (s70). In the example of FIG. 19, a value of "Hitachi Transportation" can be extracted.

[0066] Subsequently, the audit support device 100 identifies the supplier keywords for which the validity of the supplier is recognized for the account code in the above-mentioned payment request application data (s71). In the example of FIG. 19, for the account code "99999 (taxi fare)", keywords such as "transportation" and "taxi" can be identified.

[0067] In addition, the examination support device 100 determines whether the value extracted in s70, namely "Hitachi Transportation", includes the procurement source keyword specified in s71, namely "Transportation" or "Taxi" (s72).

[0068] As a result of the above determination, if it is confirmed that the procurement source name includes the procurement source keyword (s72: Y), the examination support device 100 generates an examination result that confirms the validity of the relevant procurement source (s73) and ends the process.

[0069] On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if it is not confirmed that the procurement source name includes the procurement source keyword (s72: N), the examination support device 100 generates an examination result indicating that the validity of the relevant procurement source could not be confirmed (s74) and ends the process.

[0070] As described above, the best mode for carrying out the present invention has been specifically described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist thereof.

[0071] According to such an embodiment, for example, based on the tax rate in the invoice and the tax rate in the payment request application data, it is possible to confirm whether the tax code (tax rate) set in the payment request application data is appropriate. That is, the efficiency and quality in the examination work of the payment content of the invoice can be improved.

[0072] From the description in this specification, at least the following is made clear. That is, in the examination support device of the present embodiment, the storage device further holds the recognition result for the scan image of the application ledger created corresponding to the invoice, and the arithmetic device determines whether there is a predetermined correspondence relationship between the application ledger title included in the recognition result regarding the application ledger and the account item code in the payment request application data. When the correspondence relationship is confirmed by the determination, a process of generating an examination result that confirms the validity of the account item code in the payment request application data associated with the application ledger is executed. It may be described in this way.

[0073] According to this, it becomes possible to check whether the necessary account item codes are set for the attached application ledger. As a result, the efficiency and quality in the scrutiny work of the payment content of the claim form can be made better.

[0074] Also, in the scrutiny support device of the present embodiment, when the account item code in the payment request application data is defined as one that requires attachment of an application ledger for the payment request application, the arithmetic device determines whether the presence of an application ledger including a keyword defined in advance for the account item code can be specified by the recognition result in the storage device, and when the presence of the application ledger is recognized by the determination, the arithmetic device may execute a process of generating a scrutiny result obtained by confirming the validity of the application ledger.

[0075] According to this, it becomes possible to check whether a necessary application ledger is attached to the account item code set in the payment request application data. As a result, the efficiency and quality in the scrutiny work of the payment content of the claim form can be made better.

[0076] Also, in the scrutiny support device of the present embodiment, the arithmetic device determines whether there is a predetermined correspondence relationship between the usage fee of a predetermined service included in the recognition result regarding the application ledger and the usage limit amount of the predetermined service defined in advance regarding the account item code in the payment request application data, and when the correspondence relationship is recognized by the determination, the arithmetic device may execute a process of generating a scrutiny result obtained by confirming the validity of the account item code set in the payment request application data with respect to the usage fee of the predetermined service.

[0077] According to this, for example, it becomes possible to check whether an appropriate account item code is set in the payment request application data for the food and beverage expenses (amount) in the application ledger.
