Continuous verification
Verification treated as an ongoing state rather than a one-off event, where a supplier's identity and bank details are rechecked as they change, not only at onboarding.
Continuous verification treats verification as an ongoing state rather than a one-off event. A supplier's identity and bank details are rechecked as they change and at regular intervals, instead of being confirmed once at onboarding and assumed correct thereafter.
Point-in-time verification answers the question 'was this supplier genuine when we added them?'. It cannot answer 'is this supplier genuine now?'. Between the two lies every change of ownership, every new bank account and every dormant company, all of which a one-off check misses.
Continuous verification keeps the answer current. It is what turns a verification record from a historical fact into live infrastructure that can be trusted at the moment a payment is actually made.
Accounting Links rechecks supplier identity and bank details as they change rather than only at onboarding, so the verified state reflects the supplier as they are now.
