Rewrite a sentence so it reads better

Original: It was brought to my attention by a member of the accounting department who works closely with the vendor management team that there may be some discrepancies that have been identified in the invoices that were submitted by the vendor during the second quarter of this fiscal year, which may require further investigation and review before payment can be processed in a timely manner. Clearer: An accounting team member who works with vendor management told me that discrepancies may exist in the invoices the vendor submitted during Q2 of this fiscal year, and these may require investigation before we can process payment. Shorter: Accounting alerted me to possible discrepancies in the vendor's Q2 invoices, which may need review before payment. More direct: An accounting team member told me: the vendor's Q2 invoices show discrepancies, and we must investigate before processing payment. Why: Passive voice and long clauses bury who said what and what was found. Original: After a thorough examination of the documents that were provided, it was determined by the finance department that the invoice numbers that appeared on the submitted paperwork did not correspond with the numbers that were listed in the purchase orders that had been approved by the procurement office back in March. Clearer: After examining the documents, the finance department determined that the invoice numbers on the paperwork did not match the numbers in the purchase orders that the procurement office approved in March. Shorter: Finance found that the invoice numbers did not match the procurement approved purchase orders from March. More direct: The finance department examined the documents and found mismatched invoice numbers — they did not match the purchase orders approved by procurement in March. Why: Passive constructions ("it was determined," "that were listed") hide who did the work. Original: A decision was made at that point to place a temporary hold on all pending payments to that particular vendor until such time as a complete reconciliation of all outstanding invoices could be completed by the appropriate personnel in the department. Clearer: At that point, the department placed a temporary hold on all pending payments to that vendor until personnel complete a full reconciliation of all outstanding invoices. Shorter: The department then held all pending payments to the vendor until the invoice reconciliation is complete. More direct: The department placed a temporary hold on all pending payments to that vendor; personnel must complete the reconciliation first. Why: Passive voice ("a decision was made") and filler phrases ("until such time as," "at that point").
