Tech/Engineering - Insurance / Autoschaden
German term or phrase: Belegprüfungen
The obvious translation would be something like "checking of records" but I don't feel comfortable with that. This is about a company which offers a service checking the "Belege" for insurance companies relation to car damage claims. Here is the full sentence:

Thanks in advance for all suggestions
