How to Audit M-PESA Records
An M-PESA audit is a review of payment records to confirm that the business figures are accurate.
Choose a review period
You can audit one day, one week or one month. Start with a short period if your records are not yet organised.
Compare transactions with sales
Check whether every M-PESA sale in your records has a matching payment. Also check whether every payment has a clear business reason.
Check expenses and withdrawals
Look for supplier payments, owner withdrawals, stock purchases and transfers that were not recorded.
Review balance differences
If expected and actual balances do not match, investigate the difference before assuming the money is missing.
Regular audits help reduce mistakes and improve trust in your business figures.
