Catch the issues that get invoices reduced.
Client guidelines are long and different from client to client. OCGCheck reviews every line against the rules that matter for invoice review.
Block billing
Multiple tasks lumped into one time entry.
Vague narratives
Entries that do not describe the work performed.
Rate caps
Timekeeper rates above the client's agreed limit.
Unsupported expenses
Costs the guidelines do not allow or require detail for.
Time increments
Billing rounded beyond the allowed increment.
Travel rules
Class, distance, and pre-approval requirements.
Late billing
Entries past the client's submission window.
Staffing restrictions
Disallowed timekeepers, levels, or counts.
Duplicates
Repeated or overlapping line entries.
Missing fields
Required LEDES / UTBMS data not present.

Before
“Review and revise brief; attention to file; calls with client” — 4.2h
After — one-click split
Fix the issue, keep the audit trail.
Reviewers do not just see problems — they see the fix. Each correction shows a clear before and after.
- Split block-billed entries into discrete, defensible lines
- Round time to the client's allowed increment
- Apply rate-cap corrections automatically
- Remap UTBMS task and activity codes
Proof, not a black-box answer.
Billing teams need to defend a decision to a partner — and sometimes to the client. Every flag and every answer cites the exact guideline section behind it.
Answers cite the governing rule — or say when the guidelines do not cover it.
Send an invoice that clears the first time.
Resolve the flagged issues, then export a corrected LEDES 1998B file with a validation token.
