Why Should you Attend
Without strong internal controls around accounts payables, businesses are susceptible to fraud and financial losses. Duplicate and erroneous payments, audit issues and lost vendor credits all have a lethal impact on the bottom line.
Control problems can creep into the procure-to-pay at almost any point in the process. Our speaker Candace Leuck, divides the process into three parts: before the invoice shows up, the processing of the invoice and making of the payment, and the after the invoice is paid processes. Most only focus on the middle part missing a number of opportunities to strengthen controls and eliminate the problems that make a dent in the bottom line. She´ll show you how to take advantage of instilling controls across the entire spectrum.
