Automated bill validation for electronic and telephonic transactions

An information verification system related to at least one transaction using a medium comprising:

• a server comprising a data storage location where transaction information associated with the at least one transaction is sent and stored and where programmed modules including a bill generator module, a verification module, and a plurality of parser modules are stored;
• wherein the bill generator module generates a first bill based on tariff information and the transaction information, wherein the transaction information comprises phone calls and the use of network bandwidth;
• wherein the verification module obtains a second bill from a service provider and verifies the first bill with the second bill to identify any discrepancy between the first bill and the second bill;
• and
• wherein at least a portion of the plurality of parsers operate with a format that is specific to a particular service provider.

A computer implemented method for verifying information related to at least one transaction, where one or more processors are programmed to perform steps comprising:

• identifying transaction information associated with at least one transaction;
• converting the transaction information to a standard format;
• storing the transaction information in a data storage location;
• storing tariff information associated with the transaction information in the data storage location;
• generating a first bill based on the tariff information and the transaction information, wherein the first bill covers a particular time period;
• obtaining a second bill, wherein the second bill covers said particular time period;
• determining a service provider associated with the second bill;
• obtaining a parser for the determined service provider from a plurality of parsers stored in the data storage location, wherein each of said plurality of parsers is adapted for use with a particular service provider;
• and
• using said determined service provider parser to verify the first bill with a second bill and identify any discrepancy between the first bill and the second bill.
