Follow the Money: Automating Accounts Payable to Illuminate Cash Management

On-demand Webinar | Free

Automation promises significant efficiency gains for Accounts Payable by removing paper from the invoice and payment process, but Controllers stand to realize the more strategic benefits of enhanced visibility to exert greater control over cash management.

Digitization of AP will allow Cash Managers to “Follow the Money” throughout the process – to preemptively and proactively forecast working capital requirements before invoices are paid, or funds are committed, instead of reactively adjusting cash requirements after funds have been disbursed.

This on-demand webinar will highlight how Financial Controllers can leverage AP automation to achieve strategic cash management goals including:

• Enhancing order-to-remittance forecasting to better understand and anticipate working capital needs
• Providing the analytics to optimize DPO (Days Payable Outstanding)
• Enabling maximum early payment discount savings capture through accelerated invoice approval and   dynamic discounting processes
• Ensuring accurate accruals of in-process invoice expenses
