Records needed for this question
Contract retention terms, completion certificates and release requests.
How to investigate
Separate currently due progress payments from retained amounts and verify the release milestone.
An illustrative review decision
An invoice can contain both a payable progress amount and retained consideration. Apply release evidence only to the retained portion so ordinary payment work can proceed on amounts already due.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
Treating every retained amount as overdue overstates actionable receivables.
The result to retain
A retention maturity schedule with missing release evidence.
