THE NEW ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TOOLKIT

In The New Accounts Payable Toolkit, accomplished entrepreneur, consultant, and finance expert Christine H. Doxey delivers a unique and powerful approach to the accounts payable process and discusses the impact of the automation of the Procure to Pay (P2P) process. The toolkit explores all aspects of the accounts payable process, from the establishment of the contract and the purchase order to the supplier validation process, invoice processing and payment, accounting, and fiscal close.

You'll learn the key metrics and analytics needed for the accounts payable process. This comprehensive toolkit provides the best practices, tools, and internal controls that can help safeguard your company's cash and other assets. You'll obtain a variety of tools to create the foundation required for current internal controls and compliance to ensure that suppliers are correctly validated in the supplier master file to maintain regulatory compliance.

Avoid paying fraudulent or inaccurate invoices and avoid paying a supplier's invoice more than once. Be certain that all supplier invoices are properly accounted for to ensure an accurate fiscal close. Finally, stay up to date with all current and coming trends in the accounts payable process, including eInvoicing, ePayment, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and eAccounting.

The New Accounts Payable Toolkit provides guidance for the implementation of AP automation solutions that can streamline and modernize your own systems and processes to take advantage of new digital developments.

Perfect for controllers, chief financial officers, and finance managers, The New Accounts Payable Toolkit will also earn a place in the libraries of students and professionals who seek to better understand the components of an optimal accounts payable.

You'll discover how to implement new digital technologies in every aspect of the accounts payable process, from the establishment of the initial contract and purchase order to the supplier validation process, invoice processing and payment, accounting, and fiscal close.

You'll learn to validate suppliers in the master list to ensure regulatory compliance, prevent multiple payments for a single invoice, keep from paying fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete invoices, and apply best practices to help safeguard your company's assets. You'll also discover how to measure and record key metrics and analytics to maintain an effective accounts payable process. Finally, you'll read about new and upcoming trends in accounts payable, like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation that you can implement today to realize new efficiencies and savings.
