Automated AP and Fraud: Improving Internal Controls to Avoid Risk

When is it?

  August 20, 2007 at 02:00PM ET

When moving to an automated AP environment, you need to take a fresh look at your internal controls. Why? Because, while automation brings increased control to AP, it also opens the door to new ways to perpetrate fraud.

To protect yourself and your AP organization, you must understand the vulnerabilities and threats in the new world of AP automation and adjust your internal controls accordingly.

This IOMA audio conference will show you how.

Recent research by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners shows that well over 90% of fraud in AP departments goes undetected. Even worse, in the few cases where fraud was found internal controls were the source of detection just 20% of the time.

What does this mean to you? That your automated processes are only as effective as the internal controls in place to support them!

To ensure that your internal controls pass muster (especially under Sarbanes-Oxley), attend this 90-minute audio conference to learn how to identify, detect and prevent risks in automated AP processes such as e-invoicing, electronic payments, automated T&E, and p-cards.
