Payments reviewed and approved by multiple people still get sent to the wrong vendor due to similar-looking vendor names, and recovering the funds is difficult.

Manual review by humans cannot reliably catch mistakes when vendor names are similar, especially under high volume; no automated validation exists to flag potential mismatches.
