Automation is impacting nearly every business today and specifically the people who work inside of them. Businesses across the board have viewed automation primarily as an opportunity to drive efficiency. But what about automation as a means to not only drive strategic advantage, but also, in the process, create more rewarding roles and advanced skill sets.

No function within an organization today represents this opportunity better than Accounts Payable (AP) because only 38% of businesses have adopted AP and/or Business-to-Business (B2B) Payments automation software. AP department employees that haven’t automated spend more than 80% of their time on transaction processing, leaving little time to spend on analysis and insights.

Please join us for this webinar as we discuss:

• What is Invoice and B2B Payments Automation software
• What are the steps that Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) can take to lead this transformational change
• What are the benefits and opportunities that automation creates for AP professionals in their careers
• What are the benefits CFOs can expect from automating

The accounts payable industry is consistently evolving and shifting, forcing AP and finance professionals across the globe to prepare for change and innovation in technology, business regulations, and the general speed of commerce. This complimentary webinar will be an ideal “stage-setting” event for AP and finance professionals as they move into 2021. As they do every year, Ardent Partners will highlight a series of market trends and predictive scenarios for the year ahead. We hope you will join us Wednesday, December 9th @ 2 PM ET! Finance, AP, and P2P professionals will not want to miss this interactive and powerful discussion that will offer key tips and recommendations for these leaders to hit the ground running in 2021.

Segregation of duties is a basic, key internal control and one of the most difficult to achieve. It is used to ensure that errors or irregularities are prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of business. Segregation of duties provides two benefits: 1) a deliberate fraud is more difficult because it requires collusion of two or more persons, and 2) it is much more likely that innocent errors will be found.

At the most basic level, it means that no single individual should have control over two or more phases of a transaction or operation. This webinar will explore specific concepts, examples and applications of the segregation of duties control at the corporate level and will use the accounts payable (AP) process as an example.
