I recently met with a company who had a business process failure that caused a bunch of duplicate payments. Luckily, the company had identified the issue, actually a couple of their suppliers had told them about the problem, and they were able to identify all of the duplicate payments from the failed business process. 

 

So they contacted all of the relevant suppliers and asked each to send a check for the duplicate payment made. They had accounts receivable process the refund checks. Sounds like a reasonable process, right??? 

 

So what do you think is causing them problems now? 1099 reporting.
