Overview

Automation was supposed to eliminate many of the headaches associated with invoice processing. Unfortunately, automation continues to allow duplicate and erroneous payments to slip through the cracks, leading to decreased efficiency in accounts payable and an increase in the potential for fraud and regulatory noncompliance. This webinar will provide you with practical, advice on how to create an efficient and compliance invoice handling process.

Why you should Attend

In AP Now's recent Invoice survey, respondents identified their most pressing problems regarding the invoice handling process. What is readily apparent is that, despite the promise that automation would eliminate a lot of the headaches experienced with invoice processing that has just not happened.

If these issues are not addressed, the accounts payable function runs less efficiently than it could. But more importantly, duplicate and erroneous payments are more likely to slip in, fraud is facilitated and sometimes regulatory compliance is compromised. That's why we created this session.
