I fully agree with previous answers. I can only add that sometimes it is better to check the bank account of the vendor in our database (e.g. imitation of invoices sent by telecommunication company)

Check the description of work performed to be sure it reflects what was completed. Some vendors might invoice you for work that has not yet been completed. Even worse, you might find listed on one invoice work that was paid for from a different invoice.

Check with the project manager or department head to be sure the work was completed satisfactorily. If a vendor has botched an assignment, it is advisable to withhold payment until the work has been brought up to standard.

Look at the dates that appear in line items on the invoice. Check those dates against dates of past invoices in another effort to guard against being billed for the same work twice.

Look at the name, address and Tax ID number of the vendor to be sure it matches your contractor paperwork. If any of the information does not match, contact the vendor for an explanation. Any vendor name or address change is crucial data. An unrecognizable tax ID number may be a typo or reflect a change in vendor ownership. But there is always the chance that the vendor is involved in financial shenanigans. While it may not be your responsibility to take action in such an instance, it is best to be forewarned.
