Benefits of attending
A huge penny has dropped in the world of Accounts Payable Finance! It is now absolutely crystal clear that if the AP operation is going to operate like the efficient, touchless, inexpensive and value adding machine all Finance Directors and Shared Services Directors crave, then Procurement needs to ‘come on board’, and quickly.
But how? Historically Procurement and Accounts Payable have been so deeply siloed, that the disconnect between the two groups when it comes to objectives, intentions, opinions, and understanding has been seen as too big to bridge. But the understanding in Finance is that, by hook or by crook, Finance has to win the hearts of their Procurement to turn AP from an unnecessary cost into a profit centre.
This excellent one day masterclass will prove an excellent investment if you are looking at the many ways you can:
- Elegantly force behavioural change amongst users in P2P: Buyer, Suppliers and Receivers of Goods
- Ensure that Buyers create POs before the event and in the right way so your match rate soars into the 90s
- Avoid failure by getting Procurement excited about Finance projects
- Use metrics intelligently to pinpoint the reason for exceptions and fix problems quickly
- Know the techniques available to you to change behaviour, and which ones are most appropriate, and when
- Ignore the white noise that comes from the business, and know which 'fight to pick'
- Prepare your process for touchless, electronic invoicing
