When a contractor invoices ahead of work finished as indicated on the WIP schedule or the over/under billings report, this is known as overbilling.

Overbilling is often viewed positively by construction CPAs and sureties. Overbilling allows contractors to stay ahead of their cash flow, but it is essentially borrowing against future work that has yet to be completed.'
