Most AP automation projects don’t fail because of the solution purchased — they fail because of a few predictable, easy to fix issues inside the AP process. Whether you’re looking for a new AP automation solution or trying to rescue one you already have, the same failure points show up again and again.

Today, I’m breaking down the real reasons AP automation fails and the simple fixes that prevent these breakdowns so you can choose the right solution — or finally make your current one work the way it should. #apautomation #invoiceautomation

Everyone thinks AP is just “paying bills” — until they have to manage it. Then they discover how complicated and far reaching the function really is. Let’s take a quick look at the seven core components that make AP management far more challenging than it first appears. How important is it that you get what I’m about to discuss right? I know of several organizations that had their AP function so messed up, the auditors threatened not to sign off on their financial statements. In two of those cases I was brought in to help reorganize the function, install proper controls and best practices etc. so the organizations were able to get the much-needed sign off. They were not pretty situations – but if I’m being totally honest, a lot of fun … for me … not for the companies involved!

  • Silent AP Failures or Hidden AP Failures
  • The Costs You Miss
  • Stop the Bleeding

Your company is losing money right now — and no one can see it happening. Not leadership. Not procurement. Not even finance. But Accounts Payable can.

Because the truth is this: most organizations don’t bleed money through big, dramatic failures. They bleed through the tiny, invisible cracks in their AP fundamentals — the ones no one ever talks about because they seem “too basic” to matter.

But those basics? They’re exactly where the damage starts.

A missing invoice. A coding error. A rushed approval. A vendor setup shortcut. A “temporary” workaround that somehow becomes permanent.

Individually, they look harmless. Collectively, they create duplicate payments, late fees, vendor escalations, audit findings, strained relationships, and real financial leakage — all happening quietly in the background while everyone assumes AP is “just processing invoices.”

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on the AP fundamentals that silently cost companies thousands — sometimes millions — every year. And by the end of this video, you’ll know exactly which basics your organization is overlooking… AND how to stop the bleeding before it becomes a crisis.

Most AP teams don’t fail because they’re careless — they fail because they trust the wrong things. An official looking invoice. A familiar process from a previous job. An email that “seems” like it came from a supplier. An automation tool that feels foolproof. These tiny assumptions slip into the workflow quietly… and they’re exactly where the biggest errors, fraud attempts, and audit findings hide. #accountspayable #accounting #accountspayablemistakes

Today, I’m going to walk you through the assumptions that even experienced AP professionals make without realizing it — the ones that cost companies money, damage vendor relationships, and create compliance headaches. If you work in AP, these blind spots are already in your process. The question is whether you’ve spotted them yet.

One of the many benefits of making ACH payments is that when they fail, you know almost immediately. And while they fail far less frequently than checks get lost, bounce or are stolen, it does happen. And when that occurs, the ACH payment is returned, hence the term, ACH returns. A good understanding of why returns occur will allow you to create a process that minimizes returns and allows you to respond quickly when they do fail. Today, we’ll discuss the most common reason for ACH returns, and then take a look at best practices to minimize this from happening as well as what to do when an ACH payment is returned. #ACH #ACHpayment #ACHdebits #ACHcredit

I’m sure most high-level executives would not agree (at least in public) with what I am about to say about Financial Statements, but that isn’t going to stop me. Here it is. When a public company has unpleasant information that it is obliged to divulge to its shareholders and would prefer not to be questioned about, they will often bury it in the notes to the Financial Statement, if at all possible – which means, if their auditors will allow them to. Clearly not all companies do this, but many do. That’s just one of the many reasons, savvy investors and others devour the notes to the financial statement with great relish. You should do the same. #notestofinancialstatements #fifthfinancialstatement #finacialstatements #accounting

Getting hit with a fraud when you’re in charge can be devastating – even when you had absolutely nothing to do with it. What’s more, management often feels that someone has to take a hit for what happened and they terminate or demote the manager who was in charge, figuring they should have had tighter controls and practice in place “to prevent this kind of thing” from happening. That’s why we put together this quick run down of fraud protection practices everyone should be using. Make sure you stick around until the end when I discuss one strategy that few rely on and it’s shame for in at least of the big frauds that occurred recently, it could have saved the day. #fraud #payments #scam

Getting even the smallest detail wrong in your accounts payable function can result in significant losses – money that is sometimes not recoverable or if it is, only after considerable efforts and expense. Better not to make these mistakes in the first place and use those efforts and funds spent on expenses for more value-add endeavors. And there are so many places in accounts payable where mistakes slip through, allowing duplicate payments and even worse, fraud to slip through – and more often than you might imagine, the company doesn’t ever realize it.

I have spent that last 25 years talking with controllers (both corporate controllers and financial controllers), accountants and accounts payable professionals zeroing in on the problems and issues that plague the accounts payable function and finding the solutions. I continue to be amazed at the number of issues that, at first glance, appear trivial and irrelevant – yet cause devastating losses when ignored. We’ve devised a series of seven questions to help you zero in on those issues. For each, we’ll not only tell you how you should be addressing the problem, but we’ll explain Why. Do you think you can get them all right? Let’s see. #accountspayable #accountspayableprocess #accounting

Do you want to avoid duplicate payments and fraud when paying your company’s invoices? Of course you do, that’s a foolish question to ask. Or is it? While I’m willing to bet virtually everyone had the same answer to that original question, not every organization is as diligent when it comes to the basic internal controls needed to protect the organization against paying twice or fraudulently- and before you say, “well, it’s not the end of the world if we pay twice, our suppliers will return the excess payment,” let me assure you that is only true in a small number of cases. What’s more, and I won’t get an argument on this on, criminals will never return the funds, they’ll just try and get you to make the same mistake a second time. Make sure you stick around until the end when we discuss the one “building block of internal controls” many never implement … and it costs big time. Your organization could be one of them. #accountspayable #accountspayableinternalcontrols #accounting

Effective control in accounts payable boils down to one simple thing: the details. I’ve identified a baker’s dozen of places where controls often go awry in the accounts payable process and will explain how this happens, when it’s often not that obvious at first glance. Make sure you stick around until the end when we discuss the one control weakness many have and don’t realize – until they are hit with a massive fraud. It’s too late then. #accountspayable #internalcontrols #accounting

The accounts payable invoice process has many moving parts. It is so easy to get one or more of the wrong – and even one tiny, what seems like an inconsequential misstep can cause havoc resulting in either a duplicate payment that is difficult, if not impossible to retrieve, a late payment, a disgruntled supplier or worse, an unhappy manager. We’ll go through the steps and the best practices you should use every step of the way so that doesn’t happen to you. Make sure you stick around until the end when we discuss one practice that will definitely make suppliers angry … and angry suppliers tend to call management and complain about you. #invoice #accountspayable #accountspayableprocess

The job of an accounts payable specialist is ideal for someone who is detail oriented. While it is more complicated than it might seem at first glance, it is not difficult – if you follow instructions. It is the way many professionals start their accounting career and provides a good foundation for understanding how an organization operates. An accounts payable specialist is sometimes referred to as an invoice processor, an accounts payable associate or occasionally an accounts payable clerk. In the UK, the term purchase ledger is sometimes used in place of accounts payable. #accountspayable #accountspayablespecialist #invoiceprocessor

The accounts payable role, accounting training, is often overlooked – to the detriment of the organization’s bottom line.

Ode to Accounts Payable Association is a poem written by the very talented Gemma Durham. In it she aptly captures the essence of what it is to work in accounts payable – the trials and tribulations, the headaches that are endured on a daily basis, the misconceptions others have and more. She first read this work at the AP Association’s Gala Dinner in Birmingham. #accountspayable #apassociation #poetry

Although I’m spilling a little bit of the tea, my favorite lines are:

People think AP is easy
We teach them that’s absurd.

The rest of this delightful poem is here for you to enjoy.

Worried AI will take over the world, or worse? Have no fear. That is not happening, in part thanks to some of 5 relatively new initiatives impacting the use of AI in business today. We’ll discuss each in a little detail. These various initiatives are not about restricting the use of AI but rather about setting up guide rails that ensure civilization doesn’t go off the tracks in its quest to make the most of AI. Make no bones about it. I believe AI is here to stay – we just have to learn how to make the most of it without allowing it to take over. It will make the accounts payable process, along with other accounting and finance functions, easier and require less manual intervention. #AI #accountspayable #aptechnology

Any time you can find a way to save time, do something quicker or save keystrokes, that’s a winner in the accounts payable, accounting and finance space. To kick off Accounts Payable Technology Week, we thought we’d go through the alphabet and share with you the Office shortcuts associated with each letter. The really great thing about some of the shortcuts we are about to discuss, is not only do the work in most Office applications (I wanted to say all – but anytime I do that, someone finds some obscure exception to point out) Anyway, these will also work in certain other applications, so when in doubt try them. For example, I’ve got a fun bonus shortcut, that I’m going to share at the end, and believe it or not, it actually works in the advanced video editing software we use. #APTechWeek #accountspayable #excel

Do you know how often when purchasing forgets to reflect special deals on a purchase order, those special arrangements are lost? And sadly, many purchasing professionals do forget. The most commonly lost special is when special payment terms. I think you will be horrified to discover just how many of these special arrangements end up getting lost. The problem is exacerbated at year end, when many sales people are trying to make their numbers or even increase them because bonuses are based frequently on sales. Make sure you stick around until the end when I share how to make sure this all-too common occurrence NEVER happens at your shop. #purchaseorder #purchaseorders #accountspayable

Well, the answer to that is proverbial “it depends” as there is a large overlap between the two, as I’ll explain.

Do you know the difference between a purchase order number and invoice number and what each are used for? Purchase order numbers and invoice numbers are two numbers used for several different functions in the procure-to-pay and accounts payable space. It is critical that everyone involved in these functions understand the basic different between a purchase order (and the purchase order number) and an invoice (and the corresponding invoice number). Sadly, not everyone does. These critical determinants are key to effective and efficient processing. Purchase orders without PO numbers and invoices without invoice numbers are not acceptable. You need both. Make sure you stick around until the end when we share one invoice number dilemma many are not even aware exists! #purchaseorder #invoice #accountspayable

Worst practices for the three-way match process in accounts payable or accounting can mean the difference between paying exactly what you owe and paying a lot more on your invoices. Sadly, they are all too common. The three-way match is a process that businesses use to ensure that the goods or services they receive match what they ordered, as well as what they are being billed for payment. This process helps to prevent errors and fraud and is an important part of a business's financial management. When best practices in this critical area are ignored, they can end up costing businesses hundreds or thousands of dollars – or more. Stick around until the end when we discuss one many companies never even consider. #accountspayable #threewaymatch #accounting

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For many organizations, the review of expense reports and the requests for reimbursement of expenses, is handled in accounts payable. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used. By their very nature, accounts payable best practices incorporate strong internal controls and avoid AP control weaknesses. Three-way match best practices for the invoice handling process in accounts payable or accounting can mean the difference between paying what’s owed or more than what’s owed.

What is an Accounts Payable Minimalist? Someone who strips out all the interruptions and non-value add work so they can focus on the important issues at hand. In the case of AP, that refers to the processing of invoices accurately and quickly, avoiding fraud (especially new ones), complying with all regulatory mandates (of which there are many) and selectively and efficiently incorporating new technology to help achieve their mission in the most cost-effective manner.

The minimalist can be the person who works in, manages or has responsibility for the Accounts Payable function. Make sure you stick around until the end when we explain a common misconception about what an accounts payable minimalist is and the extra step AP Minimalists take beyond best practices to really maximize their value. It’s really not difficult at all and you’ll want to implement it ASAP. #accountspayable #accountspayableminimalist #minimalist

Join us for an eye-opening discussion with the knowledgeable Dan French, as we delve into the true potential of these automation models once implemented. With both of us firmly agreeing on the significance of automation in today's business landscape, this talk promises to offer valuable insights and real-world experiences. #accountspayable #automation #invoiceautomation

As we all know, PDFs play a pivotal role in many automation efforts, but their integration hasn't always been seamless. To shed light on this crucial issue, we've invited Dan French, an expert in the field, who will share his intriguing thoughts and experiences. The story behind how we connected is an interesting one, involving a captivating discussion with Dan and 20 other professionals. Our conversation was so enthralling that it led to this broadcast, where we'll spill the tea on AP and invoice automation. With a focus on solutions, we explore the scope for service providers to address the PDF problem. If they fall short, Dan shares insightful recommendations for overcoming this challenge and maximizing automation success.

While AP automation solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent, Dan will reveal that the journey doesn't always guarantee smooth sailing once purchased. We'll dive into the utilization aspect after 6 months or a year, and examine common challenges that arise.

Now, the PDF problem – a significant obstacle that affects automation projects relying on email invoicing. Although the US and UK currently remain unaffected by global electronic invoicing mandates, it's crucial to understand the potential implications. Dan clarifies the issue, its implications, and potential future developments.

The hard working accounts payable teams at many organizations are really doing a lot more complex work than their bosses realize. They need to not only know best practices, they have to stay up-to-date on a wide array of regulatory issues, change processes to protect against an ever-growing number of frauds, and diplomatically deal with a number of different employees and suppliers who don’t abide by company policies. #accountspayable #accountspayableprocess #accountspayablebestpractices

I really wanted to call this broadcast, Understanding Why Accounts Payable Is Much Harder and More Complex than Most Finance and Accounting Executives Realize. But clearly, that was far too long even though it sums the many over-looked intricacies that go into running a best practice accounts payable operation. Stick around until the end when I share the one practice that goes on in many organizations – that in and of itself is not bad – as long as management teams realize what they are doing and don’t paint AP as the guilty party. Sadly, the blame game goes on unfairly in far too many organizations. Another title for this session might have been what every controller needs to understand about accounts payable or perhaps what every CFO needs to know about accounts payable.

I am a big fan of having no cash in the expense world, in fact, it’s part of the reason why you should buy everything with credit cards. Not, of course, stuff that should be invoiced, but stuff you might be tempted to pay cash for. Now, I know a lot of folks agree with me on this, but sometimes for a different reason, they are hoping to build the rebate. Recharged Education’s Lynn Larson, who is joining me today, is probably cringing as I am talking about building P-card rebates. Given the controversy around rebates, I thought we might hear from someone who knows a lot about cards. So, I’m going to throw out some statements about them and Lynn has agreed to tell us if they are true or false and why. Make sure you stick around until the end when Lynn enlightens us on one pcard practice you might not have considered. #pcard #corporatecard #pcardrebates

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For many organizations, the review of expense reports and the requests for reimbursement of expenses, is handled in accounts payable. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used. By their very nature, accounts payable best practices incorporate strong internal controls and avoid AP control weaknesses.

As a savvy accounting and finance professional, you know that the "three-way match" is the Holy Grail of accuracy when it comes to processing invoices for payment. But there are so many little places that errors can slip in – errors that lead to an organization paying more than it should or even worse, paying for something it shouldn’t. These extra or erroneous payments come right off the bottom line, making your organization less profitable, and hence less competitive than it should be. Make sure you stick around until the end when we discuss the common error that many overlook. #accountspayable #accounting #threewaymatch

Discover the key to achieving utmost precision in invoice payment processing— and more importantly, the "three-way match." As you're well aware, meticulousness is paramount in this realm.

Stay tuned until the end, as we unveil a commonly overlooked error that deserves your attention.

Why am I doing a talk on check washing fraud? If you ever heard a talk by Frank Abagnale on Credit Cards you may have heard him talk about this. This may seem like a relic from the past, a scam that thrived in the bygone eras of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, when check fraud was a booming industry. Yet, there's a twist to this tale. 'Check washing' scams are on the rise, prompting warnings from law enforcement nationwide. Against all hope and expectations, this all but forgotten scam has made a comeback, with a vengeance that no cannot be ignored. #fraud #checkwashing #accountspayable

Changes to the Uniform Commercial Code in the mid-90s resulted in companies taking actions that put a real dent in the big business of check fraud. Unfortunately, it’s back with a vengeance! Make sure you stick around until the end when I share the one tactic YOU can use to help protect yourself against this horrific crime. A trending bank fraud, called check washing, starts when a scammer steals your check - out of the mail - then uses chemicals to "wash" off the ink, fills in their own name and cashes it -- cleaning out your bank account. And worse.

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For many organizations, the review of expense reports and the requests for reimbursement of expenses, is handled in accounts payable.

There’s a reason we call duplicate payments the silent killer. They eat away at the profitability of your organization, making it difficult to figure out why the company isn’t making as much money as everyone thinks it should. You might think that your company has effective systems in place to prevent duplicate payments, but in reality, it’s much easier than you think for these costly errors to slip through the cracks. #accountspayable #payments #accountspayableprocess

Don’t play the blame game. You can reduce your duplicate payment errors by 97%. This has become an even bigger issue in the last few years as the number of invoice copies has skyrocketed. If you want to protect your company's bottom line and improve your financial processes, it's crucial to understand how duplicate payments occur and how you can stop them. The problem starts when your invoices first enter the company. Make sure to stick around until the end when we share that last step, that many miss, often because they don’t realize how important it is. If you want to learn accounting, this is a necessary component.

You are not going to believe how far a bunch of criminals went recently to make an email look legit. I was blown away when I saw it, but upon reflection, it makes a lot of sense – from their standpoint, anyway. Wait until you hear how they started the fraud.

Make sure you stick around until the end when we share one tactic that you absolutely should not do. And before you say, there’s no way I would ever do that, keep in mind I’m mentioning it because I heard Mr. Beast – one of the most successful young YouTube entrepreneurs mention laughingly that he had done this exact thing … and of course, he’s changed this practice.

Why is no one talking about the increase in the workload of almost every accounts payable department. We keep hearing about smaller accounts payable departments due to the “supposed” decrease in work thanks to automation. But that does not address the very real issue of the increased workload every best practice organization has – often thanks to automation as I’ll explain. For if organizations don’t address these issues, they’ll end up with frauds so massive they could sink the entire company. Make sure to stick around until the end when I address the not only the obvious headache, but the offshoot of it, which few fully appreciate. #accountspayable #accountspayableautomation #accountspayablebestpractices

Are you aware of the newest ways crooks have found to exploit folks using Zelle? It boggles the mind. The innovative way criminals continue to exploit all sorts of payment mechanisms continues to astound me. Once again, I’m joined by Lynn Larson of Recharged Education, our go-to source for the latest Zelle scams. She’s here with an update. Make sure you stick around until the end, when she shares tips on how you can protect yourself against this latest atrocity. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in.

As Zelle accounts become more popular, crooks looking to get their hands on your money are getting more innovative and creative. In this episode we discuss yet another innovation criminals are using to defraud ordinary citizens of their hard-earned money. They are doing this using Zelle.

Zelle payments or payments made using the Zelle app are sometimes referred to as Instant Payments or Real Time payments. Although many sign up for Zelle through their bank, the bank does not have ultimate responsibility for these accounts. This has led to a lot of heartache and complaints when there was a fraud or scam perpetrated using a Zelle account.

Don’t let the Zelle dream turn into a Zelle nightmare, because you fell for one of the many Zelle scams. In this episode we review a number of ways crooks are scamming ordinary citizens who just happen to be Zelle users. This handy payment app makes it easy to transfer money from person to person simply by using an app on your phone. But without the proper care and controls, the app can become a nightmare. We take a look at some safety precautions every Zelle user should take to ensure they don’t get Zelle scammed. Stick around until the end when we share an often-overlooked Zelle safety precaution.

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used.

Duplicate payments – every company has them although they all wish they didn’t. And before you say, “oh well, the vendor will return them,” let me assure you most don’t. This scourge can be managed, but only if you use best invoice handling practices. There are certain practices, sadly in use in many companies, that will increase the number of duplicate payments. The goal, therefore, is obviously to keep the number as low as possible. But how to do that. We’ll identify several practices that no company should be using – and if you are you should stop it immediately. Make sure you stick around until the end when we discuss one that, at first glance, appeared to be the silver bullet to solve this problem. Regrettably, some still cling to the hope that it works. It doesn’t and we’ll explain why.

Per diems are commonly used in the workplace as part of company’s expense reporting process. Employees either love them or hate them, it seems there’s no middle ground. That being said, should an organization choose to use per diems, it is important that they take into consideration IRS rules.

Expense reporting is frequently part of the accounts payable process. Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For many organizations, the review of expense reports and the requests for reimbursement of expenses, is handled in accounts payable. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used. By their very nature, accounts payable best practices incorporate strong internal controls and avoid AP control weaknesses.

I stumbled across a silly trick that actually helps me solve Wordle puzzles faster. In this video, I share this simple Wordle strategy, a wordle visualization tactic, can implement and it will help you visualize the right answer faster. I’ve been using this little trick to help me solve Wordle puzzles faster. It revolves around the letter X – which let’s be honest, when it comes to Wordle is almost useless. #wordle #wordlestrategy #winwordle

As regular Wordle players know, having a strong Wordle strategy is critical to achieving success at the game. Solving the puzzle each day can take 2 minutes or two hours – depending on the difficulty of the solution, your starting word, your willingness to sit with the game and a little bit of luck.

Wordle is the game that has been sweeping the Internet. With only one hand each day, players have six chances to guess the daily five-letter word. A green square indicates a correct letter in the correct spot and a yellow letter reveals a correct letter in a different spot. Since there’s only one hand revealed each day, there is some pressure to get it right and to solve it each day.

I love playing Wordle, but sometimes it can be really aggravating! Do you ever start strong on a round of Wordle, certain you are going to solve it in the third round .. and then it all gets away from you because there are too many choices. Let me share a few of the more aggravating rounds I’ve had playing Wordle, starting with Monday’s STING … and I’m not going to even comment too much on how I felt like the victim of a STING (bad joke).

Wordle is the game that has been sweeping the Internet. With only one hand each day, players have six chances to guess the daily five-letter word. A green square indicates a correct letter in the correct spot and a yellow letter reveals a correct letter in a different spot. And then there are the little spoken-about Wordle tips. In fact, I’ve never seen one of them mentioned anywhere!

Wordle sometimes can be really frustrating! Do you ever start strong on a round of Wordle, certain you are going to solve it in the third round .. and then it all gets away from you because there are too many choices. You are not alone.

Evolution in the Workplace over the last two years has been immense. The trends that have emerged [Great Resignation, Great Renegotiation, Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing, The Great Pushback and Overemployment] are issues we never considered before, or at least before the pandemic hit. Can you imagine telling your boss in 2019 that you wanted to work remotely and you didn’t really care what the company policy was? Several of these phenomena, #quietquitting #greatpushback #overemployment, are new to the workplace

The workplace has changed a lot over the last two years. Great Resignation, Great Renegotiation, Great Pushback, Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing and Overemployment (which is not about your boss overworking you) are all changing the way the workplace is viewed. It is almost like employers and employees are renegotiating the employment contract or agreement, with both having changed expectations.

How long the phenomena of Great Resignation, Great Renegotiation, Great Pushback, Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing and Overemployment impact the workplace remains to be seen. But, at least for the current period, Great Resignation, Great Renegotiation, Great Pushback, Quiet Quitting, Quiet Firing and Overemployment are making an impact – even if it’s only to generate a lot of conversations and debates.

Controls that appear at first glance to provide excellent protection for your accounts payable process sometimes don’t. Don’t be fooled. What’s more, companies relying on them only learn that they don’t when the funds disappear. In this episode we look at 3 tactics commonly used by companies to protect against accounts payable fraud and duplicate payments that actually don’t work. #bestpractices in #accountspayable by their very nature incorporate strong #internalcontrols.

Accounts payable and accounting rely on strong internal controls to protect the organizations finances as well as its accounts payable proves. That’s why relying on internal controls that in reality don’t work can create issues for any accounting or accounts payable team.

When it comes to the accounts payable best practices, they start with strong internal controls across the entire procure-to-pay chain. This means avoiding practices that might be comfortable but in actuality provide no value. It’s important that everyone watching this recognize the fallacy in relying on the three tactics discussed in the video.

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls.

Let’s talk about three vowels in a Wordle hand. This happens from time to time – and in fact, presented an odd scenario this week when playing Phoodle, a sister game to Wordle focused on food. In this unusual hand (or round, depending on what you call each Wordle game), I’ll share my thinking and then give you an opportunity to see if you would have guessed the answer quicker than I did. Make sure you stick around until the end when I reveal the hurdles or mindset issues that kept me from a faster solution. #wordle #phoodle #wordlestrategy

Wordle solutions do not always start with consonants. Some wordle solutions, as we’ll discuss start with vowels. To solve a wordle puzzle, the wordle player must be open to all different combinations of letters, for the Wordle solutions don’t always follow the same pattern.

Wordle is the game that has been sweeping the Internet. With only one hand each day, players have six chances to guess the daily five-letter word. A green square indicates a correct letter in the correct spot and a yellow letter reveals a correct letter in a different spot. And then there are the little spoken-about Wordle tips. In fact, I’ve never seen one of them mentioned anywhere!

What do you do with the data related to accounts payable process three-way matches that go wrong, i.e., invoice, the purchase order and the receiving document don’t match? There’s a wealth of business intelligence in that data – if you choose to collect and analyze it. It can – and should – be used to drive process improvements across your entire procure to pay chain, not just your accounts payable function. In this episode we’ll show you why you should analyze the data and a rather simple way to do it and how to use this data to fix problems in your AP shop, in parts of purchasing and with your supplier’s billing group.

The data from failures of the three-way match in accounts payable from processing accounts payable invoices, should be tracked. An analysis of the data from the three way match in accounting or the three way match in accounts payable can provide valuable insights into not only the accounts payable process but the entire procure to pay chain.

Can quiet quitting ruin your career? Quiet quitting has raised up quite a dust storm of controversy. Those who really understand what quiet quitting is might be wondering why we’re even asking the question. But it is a fair one and we’ll attempt to answer it. #quietquitting #quietquittingwork #career

Ariana Huffington, Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank fame, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe and possibly even Elon Musk have all weighted in on Quiet Quitting. And most have not been big fans. In this episode we examine what business professionals can expect if they quiet quit their jobs. We also discuss again, what quiet quitting is and what quiet quitting is not and the difference between someone who quiet quits and someone who slacks off. By understanding the difference, perhaps we can dispel some of the controversy surrounding quiet quitting.

Quiet quitting is a new trend sweeping the corporate world as employees seek to get better control of their life work balance. As you might imagine, there are differing views on quiet quitting work. Not everyone sees it the same. Quiet quitting jobs has been going on for some time although few talk about it for attribution. Quiet quitting will probably be with us for a while as long as there is a shortage of qualified workers.

Quiet quitting is here and many are adopting the quiet quitting work approach. Quiet quitting is part of the great resignation which has been discussed extensively in the press.

Do you speak accounts payable? Do you know what all the accounts payable terms or accounts payable abbreviations stand for? In this very short video we share 20 abbreviations or short cuts used in the accounts payable function and reveal what they mean. #Accountspayable, like many other #accounting functions has a language all its own, filled with jargon and special lingo. While we all know we shouldn’t use it, as it confuses others, somehow, it manages to slip in.

The accounts payable lingo or the accounts payable terminology is often strange to those who don’t use it everyday. That’s why we advise people not to use it, but somehow, many (myself included) can’t help ourselves and the accounts payable jargon we are all so familiar with slips in. That’s why we should ask outsiders, “do you speak accounts payable” before slipping into the accounts payable lingo or accounts payable jargon. It’s like accounts payable has a language of its own. Who knew there were so many different areas.

List of terms explained: 1. AP 2. P2P 3. ERS 4. T&E 5. ACH 6. P-card 7. TIN 8. W-9 9. 1099 10. AI 11. RPA 12. DPO 13. S-OX 14. SUT 15. VAT 16. YE 17. YTD 18. ME 19. P&L 20. 2/10 net 30

Hiring questions you should NEVER ask! Ask these questions and you could be exposing your organization to big liabilities. The rules are changing as to what you can ask and what you can’t. HR expert Barbara Mitchell agreed to join the AP Now platform to explain some of the new rules. #interviewquestionsnottoask #interview #accountspayable

What was a perfectly respectable question just a few short years ago, today is an interview questions not to ask a candidate. And the rules are changing every day. So what was acceptable in your state just a few months ago, today in on the list of interview questions not to ask. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself before asking a question, do I need this information to determine if the person can do the job. If the answer is no or probably not, you might want to consider adding it to the list of interview questions to avoid asking.

Bad interview questions are often asked out of ignorance, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be asked. You might want to plan a little ahead of time about illegal interview questions and how to answer them. One of the biggest issues currently revolves around salary. You might want to plan ahead how to respond to salary questions in an interview so when someone asks inappropriate interview questions, you have an answer and are not left there staring that they even asked.

Fraud through the vendor file. Most business professionals never think the weak master vendor file practices can facilitate fraud and thus don’t prevent it. Whether you call it the vendor file, the supplier file, the master vendor file or the vendor master file, the outcome is the same. #Fraud facilitated by poor practices related to the #mastervendorfile happens more frequently than you might imagine. These weak practices sometimes also enable duplicate #payments.

The issue of Fraud in the Vendor File and How to Prevent It is one that is frequently overlooked and thus Vendor file fraud is allowed to flourish. Frauds in the Vendor File happen everywhere if you don’t know how to Prevent Them. Learning how to detect vendor fraud is not difficult, especially with common vendor fraud schemes that are not overly sophisticated. Usually, fraud facilitated by weak master vendor file practices is a type of occupational fraud.

Master vendor file and fraud and be prevented by using master vendor file best practices and regularly reviewing changes made to the vendor file. The master vendor file function is often not given the attention it deserves, making the vendor master file prone to the mal  intentions of fraudsters. The supplier file is used for making payments. Ideally, the master vendor file and separation of duties are strong. Changes to the master vendor file should be verified to prevent accounts payable fraud. The techniques used to prevent vendor file fraud will also put a damper on duplicate payments.

The IRS has increased the optional standard mileage rates for computing the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business. This mileage reimbursement rate is used in expense report reimbursements by many, many business entities (both for profit and not for profit) for the purpose of reimbursing for mileage when an employee or other individual uses their own vehicle for the organization’s business.

The optional standard mileage rate is watched by many as over 80% of all businesses use it for the purpose of reimbursing employees for mileage driven in their personal automobiles for company business. The mileage reimbursement rate is used for expense reporting purposes and as such many employees watch it closely.

This is not the first time the IRS has made a mid-year adjustment, but it is certainly not something that happens every year. The increase in the IRS mileage reimbursement rate is welcome by many employees, or at least those who use their own cards for company business.

Purchase to pay quick tips are a series of short best practices tips designed to help the viewer run a more efficient P2P operation. The fourth focuses on the P2P paper nightmare. All accounts payable operations and for that matter P2P operations are now focused on going paperless, or at least getting rid of as much paper as they can. #Goingpaperless in #accountspayable and all P2P operations is a goal at best practice organizations. #P2PQuickTip

Those P2P organizations that wish to become best practice and drive price efficiency now focus aggressively on going paperless.

Purchase to pay quick tips are a series of short best practices tips designed to help the viewer run a more efficient P2P operation. The third focuses on spend analytics that don’t deliver what is needed. Analytics are an important part of any process, if you wish to improve it. So, getting less than ideal spend analytics is likely to create all sorts of problems in #accountspayable, procurement and elsewhere. #P2PQuickTip #accounting

As analytics become more important and it becomes easier to produce budget vs. actual spend reports, employees will come under more scrutiny, if they are over spending. They are then likely to complain and cause other problems when they can’t get the data they need and rightfully should have.

Do your employees complain because they don’t know where they stand vis-a-vi the budget? They don’t know how much has been spent and more importantly, how much they still have to spend. Is your organization maximizing its purchasing power, taking advantage of all the quantity discounts it is entitled to? We’ve got some simple solutions to address this problem and make sure your company comes out a winner, while simultaneously boosting the bottom line in order to do an efficient and effective job.

Purchase to pay quick tips are a series of short best practices tips designed to help the viewer run a more efficient P2P operation. The second focuses on inefficient and manual P2P processes in the accounts payable and entire P2P operation – and what you can do to improve them so you have a more efficient, cost-effective P2P process, including the accounts payable process. #P2PQuickTip #accountspayable #P2P

In this episode, we discuss several process improvements that can be made of manual, inefficient processes. Clearly automation will help, but there are process improvements that can be made as well. More companies have inefficient manual P2P processes across their accounts payable and procurement departments. That’s part of the reason, accounts payable or purchase ledger are often at odds with purchasing.

Is your AP and procurement staff overloaded with manual processes, clunky workflows, that result in delayed approvals, which lead to late payments and angry suppliers? We’ve got some simple solutions to help you ease the load and tame those inefficient manual processes. But at the end of the day, these process improvements will only take you so far.

Automation has become a real player in the accounts payable, procure to pay, and or purchasing functions in many, many organizations.

Purchase to pay quick tips are a series of short best practices tips designed to help the viewer run a more efficient P2P operation. The first focuses on lack of budget compliance in the P2P process. This #P2PQuickTip is designed for #accountspayable, P2P and #accounting professionals. Procurement professionals will benefit as well.

Do you have employees who treat the budget as a suggestion rather than hard and fast guidelines for what they can spend? Do you only find out after the fact, that they’ve exceeded budget guidelines? Since they’ve already committed the organization, you’re stuck paying the bill. Stick around while we share some tips on how to rein in these rogue purchasers who are giving you a budget compliance headache.

Lack of budget compliance creates a huge headache for purchase to pay, or procure to pay, professionals. This often includes accounts payable. The procurement team is focused on purchasing the products needed by the organization, sometimes without regard to budget. The creates budget compliance problems when there are budget variances. Spend and budget problems create additional headaches for accounting, when purchase ledger professionals produce reports on budget variances.

Password stupidity relates not only to not using a strong word, it can also be not taking proper care of passwords as explained in this video. Password stupidity can facilitate fraud and can cost a company a lot. In this case it was an accounting manager who took advantage of a weak #password system to defraud the organization by impersonating various personnel in the #accountspayable and #accounting departments.

This new fraud was due to unmitigated password stupidity that did not rely on weak passwords but rather mismanagement that resulted in total lack of controls and segregation of duties. The issue of passwords is an important one and yet not everyone takes it seriously. As you can see from this video, ignoring strong password practices can result in a costly disaster. You can protect your organization by making sure everyone sets strong passwords.

While just about everyone knows not to use passwords like password, 123456, their pets name etc., you would think they wouldn’t have to be warned about what I am very tactlessly calling, one of the stupidest frauds of all time. Stick around until the end when we do a quick review of what to do and not to do when selecting a strong password.

WOW has there been a lot of change in the standard way the accounts payable function operates in the last few years. Technology is changing the way we live; it’s making our lives easier (and occasionally more stressful) and we are doing things in ways we would never have imagined just a few short years ago. Words like Uber, Airbnb, robotics, and blockchain were not part of our everyday lingo. AI was something science fiction authors wrote about and shared workspaces was an alien concept. But that is the world we live in now. It would be unrealistic to not expect the same changes in our professional lives. And of course, remote or hybrid work is now common place, rather than a privilege for a special few.

Back in the day, when there was a new innovation or technology for the accounts payable function, it was only the very largest companies that were able to afford it. That is no longer the case. Change now impacts all organizations of all sizes generally without a huge financial expenditure. That’s why it’s critical that every accounts payable and accounting professional learn all there is to know about the change coming.

After this session you will be able to: -Recognize where your AP function is today -Identify the issues likely to hold your AP department back -Determine what the AP Department of Tomorrow will look like (including possible new jobs for AP and Accounting) -Assess where AP and Accounting will fit in -Identify the new technologies that will be used (including terminology) -Project your organization’s impact of the evolution of invoice handling -Make changes in your payment process based on the development in payment methodologies, including new ones that didn’t exist a few years ago. -Understand the needed metrics and what all this data will mean in a new technology-enhanced AP World

Who Should Attend: Accountants, controllers, accounting managers, auditors (internal and external), Treasurers, CFOs, CEOs, accounts payable professionals, procure-to-pay professionals, and travel managers.

Fraud employee embezzlement and how to protect it is based on 5 FBI cases of embezzlement. Employee embezzlement happens more frequently than most people realize and usually it is because basic internal controls are not in place. This episode looks at 5 real-life cases, shares how the crimes were committed and offers suggestions on practices that might have prevented the #embezzlement. #accountspayable teams are the first line of #fraud defense and companies everywhere should be cognizant of this fact.

The Fraud Embezzlement cases include: The Enterprising Reseller The Bank Accomplice The Back-to-Basics case The Case of Spreadsheet Shenanigans The Multi-Faceted Embezzler

Employees who embezzle often have access to bank accounts, procurement activity, approvals and more making it easy for them to commit their crimes, especially when appropriate separation of duties is not employed. Segregation of duties is part of the basic foundation of any fraud protection protocols.

Employee embezzlement often goes on for years, causing the amounts involved to skyrocket. Many of the cases discussed involve organizations getting large grants making it easy for employees to hide their frauds especially when controls are weak.

10 lousy invoice practices focus on 10 weak invoice practices. These 10 Invoice Practices that Hurt AP Efficiency are definitely not invoice best practices. In fact, they are #invoice worst practices. Weak controls equate to poor or worst practices in accounts payable as they facilitate all sorts of problems, not the least of which is fraud. This is a serious concern for #accounting and #accountspayable professionals.

In accounts payable invoices are processed, ideally with the greatest accounts payable efficiency. This helps protect the organization against fraud and duplicate payments while keeping costs down. The goal is to use all accounts payable best practices and avoid at all accounts payable worst practices, which the matters discussed in this piece definitely are.

Some of the issues discussed include invoice handling practices, invoices without a purchase order number, invoices without a PO number, the printing of invoices, receiving invoice practices, verifying change of bank account number requests received, use of am invoice coding standards, and invoice processing routines. The worst accounts payable practices are identified along with the likely outcomes – which most organizations will want to avoid at all costs.

Lousy invoice practices are likely to increase the chances of fraud or duplicate payments, increase the odds of a duplicate payment, increase the workload in the accounts payable space and generally make for a less efficient accounts payable process.

The focus of Accounts Payable Terms: Do You Speak Accounts Payable? Is on the use of jargon in Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable Terms are numerous and growing all the time so it is not completely unreasonable to ask someone Do You Speak Accounts Payable? The language is growing. That’s why some may think this session is really accounts payable for dummies. But those listening are anything but that.

This might also be considered #accountspayable for accountants since much of the #accountspayablejargon is peculiar to the function and much of it won’t be used in mainstream accounting. The use of jargon can lead to common accounts payable misconceptions, so it is normally not a good idea to use it. Yet, we all do. #accounting

This might be considered accounts payable for beginners or maybe even a primer or accounts payable introduction. It includes the description of 10 frequently used terms including BYOD, ICR, and p2p. In p2p accounts payable the entire chain is considered. The p2p accounts payable process actually includes 9 different functions. The basics of accounts payable can be quite complex for any accounts payable or accounting professional.

Accounts Payable Separation of Duties: Prevent Employee Fraud is an issue of great importance. Accounts Payable Separation of Duties is something frequently ignored, despite the fact that most professionals know it is crucial if they wish to Prevent Employee Fraud. Separation of duties is sometimes called segregation of duties. The separation of duties internal control is critical when it comes to controlling or minimizing employee fraud. This can take the form of embezzlement, billing fraud, collusion, or pink-collar fraud.

When it comes to the type of fraud that typically goes on in an accounts payable function, it is almost completely white-collar fraud, or its subset, pink-collar fraud. Payment fraud trends and prevention have become critical for all organizations. Hence payment fraud prevention relying on segregation of duties as an internal control makes perfect sense.

Payment fraud prevention relies heavily on the segregation of duties internal control. This is why it is so critical.

Future of Accounts Payable: What You Need addresses the mindset shift needed to be a success in accounts payable in 2022 and beyond. The Future of AP will be very different than the #accountspayable function of just a few years ago. The Future of Accounts Payable will encompass different attitudes as will the Future of Accounting.

Mary Schaeffer, AP Now’s founder, addresses five different mindset shifts for accounting and accounts payable. They are explained in detail with examples. The skills needed for success in accounts payable are broader than they were in the past.

Success in accounts payable is dependent on this shift in attitude for the Future of Accounts Payable will be very different. The needed skills for accounts payable will include things we never even thought of before 2021. Remote work in accounts payable will become commonplace rather than something only a few companies allowed. There will be much discussion about TQ, or the Technology Quotient. This was something alluded to in the past, but never specifically identified. Nor did it have its own definition.

The clip also includes a discussion of why remote work will help you recruit a better AP staff, given the wider playing field. Although there has been talk for years of the need for continued learning it now is an outright necessity. TQ in AP is the wave of the future as the professionals who work in the field grapple with fraud, new best practices, technology, regulatory issues and of course accounting issues.

Is check signing really an internal control or is it simply a Time Waster? Many accounts payable professionals question whether check signing is really an internal control and for good reason. Accounts payable internal controls are critical to running an efficient and effective function. And if check signing is a non-value add task, then it definitely is not an internal control. #checksigning in #accountspayable is an often-disputed #internalcontrol. Check signing takes up a lot of time and people wonder if it adds value. If upfront controls are in place and are strong some question whether adding a manual signature to checks is a task that has any value. Accounting and accounts payable professionals can spend a good deal of time making sure checks are issued properly.

Manual signatures on paper checks, sometimes referred to as wet signatures on paper checks may or may not add value to the process. The alternative is to rely on strong controls. Of particular question are signatures on rush checks when the documentation is sparse. Signatures on these asap checks is the norm, if they are produced outside the normal check production cycle. The documentation for rush checks, sometimes referred to as backup for rush checks may not provide adequate data to verify the payment.

Avoiding duplicate payments is the topic of the AP Now podcast Episode 110. It is critical the duplicate payments be avoided because they are often not returned. There is a myth that vendors return duplicate payments. The session starts off with the smashing of this myth and a brief explanation of what typically happens when a duplicate payment is made. #Avoidingduplicatepayments is something every accounts payable group needs to embrace as part of its best practice.

Best practice #accountspayable groups actively look for #duplicatepayments. Duplicate payments are on the rise due to the huge increase in duplicate copies of invoices being sent to organizations. These duplicate payments often go undetected unless the paying organization takes serious steps to ensure the funds are identified and returned. That is why it is recommended that every organization undertake a duplicate payment audit beginning with a statement audit. By actively pursuing duplicates, every organization can avoid the scourge of duplicate payments.

Duplicate payments come directly off the bottom line impacting the profitability of the organization. There are steps every organization should take to ensure it makes as few duplicate payments as possible. Then they need to analyze payment activity after the fact to ensure duplicates are identified and recovered. Best practice accounts payable organizations do this as part of their regular processes.

Avoiding duplicate payments is an issue every organization needs to incorporate into their accounts payable routines. It is important that duplicate payments be avoided at all costs because vendors rarely return them unless the customer identifies them and asks for them. There is an urban legend that vendors automatically return duplicate payments. This is not true. The session starts off with the shining the spotlight on this myth and provides a brief explanation of what typically happens when a duplicate payment is made.

When the Invoice Number Changes the goal is avoiding duplicate payments. This happens frequently. When the Invoice Number Changes you want to ensure the avoiding duplicate payments. Why? Because vendors rarely return duplicate payments, unless the customer identifies the mistake and asks for the money back.

So, the goal is this: don’t make duplicate payments in the first place. Of course, one of the main ways companies look to avoid making duplicate payments is be checking the invoice number. So, when the vendor changes the invoice number this throws a real monkey wrench into that task. Vendors claim they have a good reason for changing the invoice number. They say they do this when sending a second invoice so they can track which invoice gets paid.

The fact that the changing of the invoice number makes it difficult for their vendors whose goal is avoiding duplicate payments doesn’t concern them. Thus, every company needs to put in place procedures to be able to identify invoices when the vendor changes the invoice number.

Duplicate and erroneous payments are such a big problem that there is a whole industry devoted to identifying and recovering those payments because as those who work in accounts payable know, rarely to vendors return duplicate payments.

They leave the task of identifying duplicate payments to their customers. Now, to be fair, some suppliers will immediately return a duplicate payment or issue a vendor credit. But that does not happen often. So, best practice organizations include in their invoice processing procedures, a check to ensure they are not paying a duplicate invoice, or invoice copy.

This big emailed invoice processing mistake is made at about 60% of all companies, Eliminating it would save time and money. Printing invoices is the dirty little secret, the big emailed invoice processing mistake that most companies don’t like to talk about or even admit they have. In fact, many don’t even realize they have it.

By stopping this questionable practice, companies can save time and money. It will also make their #invoiceprocessing more efficient. So why do so many continue printing invoices? They print emailed invoices because it makes the data entry process go a little easier. But by printing the invoice, you give back a lot of the process improvements attributable to receiving emailed invoices. Making a dent on the #accountspayable issue related to #emailedinvoices helps.

Companies everywhere now email the invoice because it saves them money and it gets to the customer faster, hopefully resulting in a faster payment – although we know that does not always happen.

This session of AP Technology Week focuses on some of the newer technologies like Blockchain, AI, crypto, RPA etc. The goal is to help you understand the fundamentals. Given the changing nature of the business world and the evolving accounts payable function, it is critical that professionals in the finance and accounting, sectors have a basic understanding of these technologies.

APTechnologyWeek is all about the evolving #accountspayable function. At the top of this list is block chain. While it is not necessary that those who work in the field have an intricate understanding of what is blockchain, the do need to know the basics of what is blockchain technology.

A #blockchain tutorial will certainly help them understand what is blockchain technology. The same can be said for cryptocurrencies. Just as it is important that blockchain technology be explained, so should cryptocurrencies. While blockchain’s most famous application is certainly cryptocurrencies, it is only the tip of the iceberg. AI, or an explanation of AI is also critical as it is being widely used in RPA today. Artificial intelligence is creeping into most automation solutions for the accounts payable function. The most common application that our audience might be aware of are the numerous ap automation and invoice #automation solutions available on the market today.

As automation sweeps through the business world, and especially through and into the accounts payable function, it is critical that professionals have some AI explained, as well as RPA explained.

The session includes some discussion of accounts payable use of blockchain, blockchain examples as well as real life blockchain applications.

AI, RPA, blockchain, cryptocurrencies (not just bitcoin) are all infiltrating the accounts payable function.

This session of Accounts Payable Technology Week focuses on Remote Work Expense Reimbursements. Reimbursement requests for remote work expenses has become a hot issue. The panel started off with participants sharing the craziest (funniest) things they have seen or heard about on reimbursement requests. It is one of five parts of a limited series focused on fraud in the #accountspayable function.

This session is part of a limited edition five-part series on Accounts Payable Technology Week. Remote work expense reimbursements are something few organizations focused on before the pandemic. Now working from home or WFH as many refer to it is quite common place. Hence working from home expenses and tangentially remote work expense are an issue almost every organization must address.

Also discussed by the panelists were questionable expense reimbursement requests, including but not limited to reimbursement requests for food, reimbursement requests for ergonomic chairs, and other issues. Not everyone agreed on these matters.

What’s more, as mentioned by the panel during this discourse, returning to work expenses may be an issue that some will also have to address. This is session is part of the AP Now podcast brought to you by AP Now.

Working from home and working remotely are now firmly established as protocols for many, many organizations. No longer is this something that only a few do. Hence, it is critical that every organization address this issue with a clear eye and a goal of treating all employees equitably. This may seem pretty straightforward at first, but when you start to delve into the matter, it becomes clear that it is not as simple as it might first appear.

One of the panelists pointed out that given the different reimbursement approaches taken, care had to be taken to ensure that duplicate payments are not made.

This session of Accounts Payable Technology Week focuses on Fraud, and perhaps more specifically, fraud that sometimes happens internally. It is one of five parts of a limited series focused on fraud in the #accountspayable function.

Fraud protection not only means fraud prevention it also includes fraud detection. While ideally the detection occurs before the funds go out the door, sadly, it is often only discovered after multiple episodes.

This is Episode 103 of the AP Now podcast.

Accounts payable fraud in the form of embezzlement is sometimes referred to as pink collar crime. This is because it is the one type of crime that is committed more frequently by women than men. But that is not to say that men don’t embezzle. They absolutely do. As Kelly Paxton likes to say, pink collar crime is about the position not the gender She explains in more detail during this session. Our guest on this episode of the AP Now podcast is Kelly Paxton, a certified fraud examiner with years of experience. She’s recently written a book on the topic.

Book link: https://greatwomeninfraud.com/#embezzlement

Fraud protection in an organization should be advanced as it happens. Whether you call it corporate fraud or internal fraud or employee fraud, occupational fraud hurts not only the reputation of your organization, but the organization’s bottom line.

During the session, Paxton shares insights, tips and advice for those looking to protect themselves. She also introduced the concepts of fraud hashtags and a fraud therapist. Paxton demonstrates her recommendations through real life examples, cases where companies have been defrauded by employees through all sorts of mechanisms. She reminds the audience that “trust is not an internal control,” as too many companies have learned the hard way.

This session of Accounts Payable Technology Week focuses on payments, specifically, payments that can be used in lieu of paper checks. Since the payment issue is so critical it is being used to launch AP Technology Week. It is one of five parts of a limited series focused on fraud in the #accountspayable function.

Accountspayabletechnologyweek was designed to present information to the accounts payable community about a number of important issues related to technology. Clearly #payments is an important one and getting rid of as many inefficient, costly paper checks is at the top of the list. Checks remain the most commonly used payment tool, although ACH, or electronic payments have clearly been growing. Use of p-cards or company credit cards has also been expanding. In fact, it is generally considered an accounts payable best practice to try and eliminate as many paper checks as possible, with #ACH at the top of the list. #pcards #companycreditcards

Industry thought leaders, Recharged Education’s Lynn Larson and Nacha’s Rob Unger are the guests on this panel as each has specialized expertise of interest to our audience. You can learn more about their organizations using the links below:

There was also a brief discussion of fraud and more specifically accounts payable fraud throughout the session. Payment fraud has become a huge issue.

Another area that has come under some scrutiny are the accounts payable portals, which some refer to as vendor portals or automation portals. These AP automation and invoice automation solutions are often quite popular with the accounts payable community but much less popular with the AR and credit community. The vendors are also sometimes not enthused with vendor master portals when they are of the self-service variety. A discussion of the use of virtual cards was included.

The session included a brief explanation of Nacha’s new Phixius solution. Although both guests claim to not be instant payment experts both had some real insights into how real time payments are likely to impact that payment space. There was a brief explanation towards the end of the consulting services offered by Nacha Consulting and Recharged Education Consulting. Payment efficiency and payment innovation were the themes of this AP Now podcast.

Figuring out how accounts payable partners with other departments is key to establishing a strategic AP function. Whether it’s working with purchasing or working with other departments data will play a key role. The data in accounts payable is often an under-utilized tool when it comes to analytic work.

If accounts payable wants a seat at the table it is critical that accounts payable develop strategic partnerships within the company. This means partnering with other departments, including purchasing, treasury, tax, audit, accounting, HR, travel and of course finance. By partnering with accounts payable, the other groups are able to create strategic partnerships that will greatly assist the accounts payable management. While most understand that accounts payable working with purchasing is what goes on in most organizations, they under-estimate the number of other departments that will benefit from these strategic partnerships.

In this 100th episode of the AP Now podcast, The Accounts Payable Association’s Jamie Radford joins AP Now’s Mary Schaeffer to discuss how accounts payable professionals today are now an integral part of a dozen different departments helping them achieve their goals and meet their obligations. It is not unusual for a CEO or a CFO to turn to the accounts payable team to provide needed data intelligence for special projects or to monitor budget or cashflow.

The unthinkable happened: fraud. A fraud happened now what should you do to prevent losses? Knowing what to do when a fraud occurs is the first step in fraud protection. Preventing losses is part of the equation but there’s lots more. What you do in those first minutes will go a long way towards protecting your organization and hopefully preventing fraud losses.

Accounts payable fraud involves money most of the time. But sometimes criminals manipulate data to achieve this goal. They frequently use email but this is not the only tool for those looking to commit fraud in accounts payable. One of the most frequently asked questions, what should I do if I discover an employee stealing, is addressed in this video. It is difficult but not nearly as frustrating as the question: what should I do if I discover my manager stealing.

Frequently this involves some sort of sophisticated accounting fraud and it is difficult for audit or accounts payable to uncover it. Most of this type of activity is referred to as white- collar crime, which includes embezzlement or pink-collar crime. While there are probably few things more stressful or hurtful to someone’s career than having fraud on your watch, knowing how to handle the situation is a good first step. Keep in mind, this fraud might be a payment fraud or data fraud. Fraud prevention is highly dependent on strong internal controls, so don’t overlook that important facet when conducting your fraud investigations for corporate fraud.

Far too many organizations pay far too much sales and use tax – and many don’t even realize they are doing it. Avoiding Costly Sales and Use Tax Overcharges is one quick way to improve your bottom line. That’s why we invited, Greg Anderson of P-Card Tax and Lynn Larson of Recharged Education to join us to discuss this issue. #SalesTax and #UseTax together are sometimes referred to as #Salesand#UseTax or simply #SUT.

By avoiding costly sales and use tax overcharges, the team responsible can also avoid unpleasant confrontations with management overpaying too much. Sales and Use Tax issues are complicated given that every state does things differently, taxes different items differently, and regularly change rates. Keeping up with the 7,000 taxing entities can be a nightmare without proper procedures and documentation.

The speakers identify some of the reasons for those Costly Sales and Use Tax Overcharges. By understanding how these sales and use tax overcharges happen, companies are in the best place to create practices and procedures to help them avoid those Costly Sales and Use Tax Overcharges in the future.

Sometimes companies who do a good job with their management of their sales and use tax obligations, forget about their employees’ credit card charges. Overpayments slip in here as well, sometimes even resulting in the organization double-paying their sales and use tax.

The Gift Card Scam has been wreaking havoc in companies everywhere, especially in their accounts payable and accounting departments. In this episode, AP Now’s Mary Schaeffer explains exactly how gift card fraud is perpetrated. By understanding how the gift card scam works you can protect your employees and organization.

This fraud targets any and all employees. The #GiftCardScam is yet another variation of Business Email Compromise (#BEC) fraud. With this #fraud, the crook impersonates the boss and sends either an email or text to the employee instructing them to purchase gift cards. Once the employee has the gift cards, they are instructed to scratch off the back covering. They then are either asked to share the data or send the data to the crooks. The fraudsters then use this information to cash in the gift cards. Once the cards are damaged, they cannot be returned.

This episode on Gift Card Scams also contains advice from the FBI on how to ensure your employees can identify such phony requests. The Gift Card Scam has done untold damage.

AP Now Podcast Episode 89: How Do You End Up Managing Accounts Payable?  The 1,000,000 Question

How Do You End Up Managing Accounts Payable? That is the million-dollar question many find themselves asking. No, it’s not how on earthy did I get myself into this mess question, but rather a question on the career path that leads to managing the accounts payable function. The key paraments: #milliondollarquestion and #managingaccountspayable have very different answers for different people. But, they are frequently asked as #accountspayable is a function found in virtually every organization.

This episode of the #APNow podcast features two of my colleagues, The AP Association’s Jamie Radford and vendor file expert, Debra R Richardson discussing the issue of how they ended up in accounts payable and more specifically, how they ended up #managing the function.

Managing the accounts payable function and managing the accounts payable team require two different, but equally important skill sets.

Companies should eliminate as many paper checks as possible. The lead to an inefficient and costly accounts payable payment process. In this episode, Mary Schaeffer discusses the 5 biggest drawbacks to using paper checks and why companies everywhere should switch to ACH (electronic payments) and/or credit cards.

Paper checks are still used for approximately half of all B2B payments. With staffs working remotely, it became even more obvious why companies everywhere should work to eliminate paper checks. Best practice organizations are doing just that: working to eliminate as many paper checks as they possibly can.

Although some companies have done an excellent job in minimizing the number of paper checks issued, many still produce far too many and have not worked on eliminating as many paper checks as possible.  At the end of the day, every company should eliminate as many paper checks as possible. The reasons are discussed in this podcast.

I want to start with my sincere apologies for the liberties I have taken with the title of Eugene O’Neil’s classic play. He’s probably rolling in his grave! In this episode, I’m going to share a situation I found myself in at work some 20+ years ago. I’m going to tell you what happened, how we dealt with it – which, by the way, I don’t believe was the right way, and then share what I think we should have done.

The AP Now podcast is a weekly podcast covering topics impacting the accounts payable and accounting function. Payments and fraud are two frequent topics.

What would you have done? Or would you have foreseen what was about to happen and planned better?

The best place to stop people problems is before you hire them, says Hanna Hasl-Kelchner.  Yet, hiring for a cultural fit is often overlooked in the mad dash to fill a position. This is unfortunate because a bad cultural fit creates so many headaches. Hiring can be a frustrating process as you try to find someone who has the skillset you need AND will fit into the existing organization. Unfortunately, too often, managers focus on the skillset and experience rather than addressing the issue of whether the person will fit in with the corporate culture and existing staff.

Hiring for a good cultural fit is not easy. Industry expert shares her considerable expertise giving the audience examples of how to identify those traits you want and those you don’t. As a real bonus, towards the end of the discussion, she shares a few questions potential job seekers can ask to see if their potential new company is what they are looking for for themselves.

This chat focuses on how Accounting, Finance, and Accounts Payable departments everywhere can cut costs and improve productivity by reducing the number of paper checks they issue.

This session begins with a very brief discussion of the disadvantages of paper checks. The lion’s share of the podcast is spent focused on seven strategies every organization can use to reduce the number of paper checks issued. As listeners are painfully aware, paper checks do not improve Accounting, Finance, and Accounting department productivity; paper checks simply increase the cost or expense of running the accounting, finance, or accounting department.

The strategies for reducing the number of paper checks focus on getting companies to convert to ACH or electronic payments. This is the primary vehicle for US companies to reduce the number of paper checks.

This session begins with Schaeffer discussing the fact that for many their metrics for 2020 for their accounts payable operations will not be as good as those for 2019. But, she cautions, this is not because the staff was slacking off. In fact, just the opposite is likely to be the case.

She then spends the remainder of the broadcast explaining why this is not true. She goes through seven unique circumstances that many experienced that they may not have realized would impact their metrics. She suggests they make sure they explain these issues too management when the metrics are shared.
