Course Description

In the complex world of finance and accounting, the significance of mastering accounts payable best practices cannot be overstated. As the financial backbone of any organization, the efficient management of accounts payable plays a pivotal role in safeguarding its fiscal health.

The accounts payable function is changing at a dizzying pace. Unfortunately, keeping up to speed these days can be like herding cats. While some best practices remain steadfast, others simply no longer work and are being replaced by new practices just now appearing.

The talk will include a discussion of the newest best practice every organization should implement to ensure crooks don’t get their hands-on money or sensitive information.
