3 Agenda 8 Overlooked Ways Invoice Automation Makes For A More Efficient AP Function Basware Overview Q & A 3 Solution Presentation
4 8 Often-Overlooked Ways Invoice Automation Makes for a More Efficient AP Function Mary Schaeffer Publisher & Editorial Director AP Now 101 Best Practices for Accounts Payable + 17 other business books
5 Agenda Introduction The Big 8 Closing Thoughts 5
6 INTRODUCTION 6
7 Current Environment AP World is changing Technology and automation huge impact Changing mindset Catastrophe or an Opportunity?? 7
8 The Unrelenting Reality Fraud isn t going away Regulatory issues continue to grow Both greater enforcement of existing regs New regs Management certainly doesn t want to hire more people for AP Bottom line focus continues Catastrophe or an Opportunity?? 8
9 An Almost Forgone Conclusion Invoice automation Not a question of if, but rather when 9
10 Your Best Approach Drive the bus Get run over by the bus Take charge Let s look at some advantages you may not have thought of 10
11 THE BIG 8 11
12 1. Eliminate Unintentional Problems Created by Your Staff The workaround The shortcut Keying errors Transpositions eliminated Mistakes calculating discounts 12
13 More Unintentional Employee Errors Losing problematic/discrepant invoices Scheduling favorite vendors for early payments Giving favorite vendors preferential treatment 13
14 2. Identify Internal Control Breakdowns Invoices always sent to the right place Ends the problem of invoices sitting on someone s desk for weeks waiting for approvals No problematic invoices in the drawer Forces speedy resolution of discrepant invoices and makes tracking easier Avoid losing early pay discounts 14
15 3. Hinder the Crook Makes certain types of fraud (honest mistakes??) more difficult to perpetrate Submitting phony invoices by outside vendors More difficult for employees to submit a fraudulent invoice Change my bank accounts / mailing address for checks Submitting invoices with inflated charges 15
16 4. Decimate Duplicate Payments Integrates duplicate payment checking before the payment is made The invoice number control really can work Finally! No paying wrong vendor No calculation errors Reduce audit fees Note: This is the beginning of contract compliance 16
17 5. Highlight Segregation of Duties (SOD) Issues makes it easier to identify them create routines to double check fewer invoice processors heading towards smaller AP depts. issue more and more have to address so maybe even though we ll have smaller AP departments, we won t have more SOD issues 17
18 6. Address Mounting Regulatory Issues More Easily Most organizations reluctant to allocate additional staff especially to what is viewed as a non-value add function AP needs more time to address them Best bet: break even like most other AP functions Help raise the level of the department 18
19 7. Great Alternative to Outsourcing Nasty truth: More than a few companies have outsourced their AP function and more are considering they don t want big transactional staffs Invoice automation makes outsourcing look less attractive Sometimes can cost justify NOT outsourcing No loss of institutional knowledge 19
20 8. Enhance AP Function/Staff Image No more black hole Less viewing as paper pushers Fewer stupid mistakes tarnishing image but get ready for greater visibility The ability to perform more analytical work, highlighting staff s skill set 20
21 CONCLUDING THOUGHTS 21
22 Invoice Automation About a lot more than cost reduction Other benefits as discussed Included in any discussion 22
23 Proposing an Invoice Automation Project? Include the obvious cost savings Include the financial calculations (ROI etc.) to prove the validity of the proposal Don t forget, the other benefits (often can t be quantified) Tangible Intangible Because sometimes, ROI just doesn t do it Other projects have a better ROI 23
24 Considering an Invoice Automation Project? Clearly, the financials are important But they are just the beginning of the ball game. Don t overlook the importance of the other issues They are more vital than they might seem 24
25 Not Considering an Invoice Automation Project? Maybe you should It s not just for the big guys anymore After all, it s about a lot more than just saving money! 25
