Invoice Handling Problems: How Best Practice Organizations Address them

Automation was thought of as being a panacea for the ills that plague the system of invoice processing. However, the system comes with inherent issues, such as duplication, an undesirable byproduct of technological glitches. Automation, unless done rightly, does not prevent erroneous payments from seeping through the system, leading to double payments whenever there is invoice duplication.
So, how do organizations ensure that this fallacy is addressed and eliminate inefficiency in their Accounts Payable? How do they ensure compliance with the regulations and prevent fraud? This is the learning a webinar from Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is going to impart.
Mary S. Schaeffer, Founder of AP Now, will be the expert at this valuable webinar, which is being organized on October 29. Please enroll for this learning by visiting https://www.traininng.com/webinar/invoice-handling-problems:-how-best-practice-organizations-address-them-201085live

The objective of this webinar is to offer participants practical advice on how to create an efficient and compliance invoice handling process.

A recent invoice survey conducted by AP Now, the firm owned by the expert at this webinar, showed that respondents felt that the failure of automation to deliver what it promised is their most pressing problems regarding the invoice handling process.
Unless automation raises itself and reaches a level where it can address these issues, there would be total lack of efficiency in the Accounts Payable function of organizations. Double and flawed payments will continue to happen, and compliance will be compromised on.
This session will show to overcome these problems by suggesting what could be put in place. Aimed at the benefit of Accounts Payable professionals, finance personnel, accounting professionals and small business owners, this session will cover the following areas:
  • Formulate best practices to reduce the impact of common invoice handling problems, including:
    • Slow internal invoice approvals
    • Invoices without a purchase order number or name of the requisitioner
    • Invoices sent to the wrong person or place
    • Duplicate submission or invoices
    • Invoices missing information
    • Early payment discounts lost
    • Second invoices with a different invoice number
    • Checks sent back to the person requesting payment
    • Rush checks
  • Improve the invoice approval response time
  • Reduce the number of repeat invoice submissions
  • Earn more early payment discounts
  • Minimize the number of requests for rush payments and checks returned to requisitioners.

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries. Moreover, the DHS developed a new I-9 Form effective from January 21, 2017, which has to be used immediately. This makes it imperative for employers to be aware of all the new guidelines for completing the new I-9 form as well as the ongoing regulations. A webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will give proper understanding and perspective on ...

Changing Behavior: Why Rewards and Punishments Often Aren't Enough

Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference. Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board. Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include: What works well and what doesn’t? How effecti...
