How to Address 15 Key AP and Purchasing Compliance Issues

This purchasing and accounts payable (AP)regulations training will focus on the necessary steps to be taken to avoid compliance issues, penalties and lawsuits. It will also explain how to identify an organization’s weaknesses and how to address the challenges related to AP and purchasing compliance.

Why Should You Attend:

Revenue shortfalls at all levels of government have greatly increased scrutiny on companies in attempts to find additional revenue. Accounts payable and purchasing are the focus of much additional scrutiny. Increased rate of electronic recordkeeping and electronic transaction processing and the ability to collect and analyze large quantities of financial data have increased the likelihood that a company’s purchasing and accounts payable data will be reviewed by regulators. State, federal and international privacy legislation and rules add to the complexity.

This webinar will provide comprehensive guidance to attendees doing business internationally and facing similar growing challenges related to accounts payable and purchasing compliance issues and risks.
