Top 5 Best Practices for Travel & Expense Compliance in 15 Minutes

With the shift to remote work and the drive for efficiency within the finance function, Accounts Payable (AP) teams need to find a way to curtail rogue indirect spend, process transactions more efficiently and shift from transactional to value-added activities to retain talent. 

Indirect spend has been notoriously difficult to manage due to the volume and fluidity of how it is captured. Additionally, capturing these transactions is further complicated by the various spend channels emerging such as purchase cards, corporate cards, e-invoicing, and Amazon for Business. With the war for talent and constrained AP resources, it is crucial for the finance function to utilise a single platform to process and control indirect spend. 

In this session, we will cover: 
1) The benefits of shifting to a single platform to increase visibility and control indirect spend while driving process efficiency 

2) How to leverage accounts payable (AP) automation to minimise manual invoice processing and support the shift from transactional to value added activities 

3) Showcasing the superior employee experience depicted through the end-to-end flow, from submission to approval, of an invoice.

Managing Rogue Spend and Increasing AP Efficiency

According to Occupational Fraud 2022: A Report to the Nations, expense reimbursement makes up 11% of all asset misappropriation cases, which ranks third among the different schemes and the median loss was USD$40,000.

Fraud tends to proliferate during periods of uncertainty and economic instability. 
Despite the increased risk environment and internal cost reduction targets, employee discretionary spend programs are often neglected or de-prioritised in organisations because they are often viewed as less important even though it impacts the majority of employees within your organisation.

Join us as we discuss how compliance programs around employee discretionary spend need to evolve and deliver sustainable cost optimization across the organization while balancing employee experience.

Why a Sustainable Corporate Travel Program is More Important than Ever

Prevent & Detect Employee Expense Fraud in Your Organisation

Why a Sustainable Corporate Travel Program is More Important in 2023 Than Ever

The pace of business is faster than ever, and your customers, partners, vendors, and employees have increasingly high expectations. When they have questions, they want answers – immediately – so they can navigate the decisive moments that help move business forward. To take advantage of those moments, people need reliable data and insights into spending, budgets, forecasts, and cash flow. Is your manual process for managing vendor invoices and payments able to deliver the level of visibility they need?

In this webinar, we look at some typical AP questions that needs to be answered immediately by the finance team on a day-to-day basis :
• Where is that invoice?
• When can we expect payment?
• What is our cash position?

With that we also dig into the reasons why you can’t easily answer the three Ws and you’ll find multiple opportunities to improve your invoice management efficiency. Manual tasks, bottlenecks, and errors give way to faster payments, improved cash flow, and optimized profitability. We will also showcase how companies use SAP Concur’s Invoice solution to hasten and automate their AP process – so the finance team can focus on their time on for more strategic work.

Supercharge Your Company’s Accounts Payable (AP) Process

As businesses transitioned into a touchless and paperless operating environment, it quickly became apparent that Accounts Payable (AP) automation has its benefits of visibility and control over cash flow. For example, an automated invoicing can potentially reduce costs by 80% compared to the manual process and unlock faster ROI.

In this market, your business can’t afford to miss out on the promises of AP automation.

To kick-start your journey, tune into our webinar as a panel of speakers from Coca-Cola, Schneider Electric, and SAP Concur walk through the following to get you started:
• Streamlining the entire invoice-to-pay process and addressing the digitalisation challenges
• Eliminating the risks and waste of paper-based processes
• Building towards a touchless future with OCR and E-invoicing
