Tax-Season Fraud Edition:Red Flags Most Overlooked by CFOs & AP Teams

Tax-season fraud doesn’t usually win because AP teams “miss something obvious.” It wins because the workflow is moving too fast. February is peak pressure: inboxes are overloaded, vendors are closing out year-end items, and “urgent” payment requests start to feel normal. That’s exactly when impersonation emails, bank-change requests, and last-minute payment pressure slip past routine checks and turn into real financial loss. This on-demand session takes a practical, workflow-level look at how tax-season fraud actually gets through AP controls and how to stop it without slowing payments down. Led by Liz Briggson, you’ll walk through real-world scenarios pulled from everyday AP processes and leave with a simple, repeatable prevention framework your team can apply immediately. Watch the on-demand webinar to learn how to: • Spot the most common tax-season fraud schemes targeting CFOs and AP teams (impersonation, bank changes, duplicate invoice attempts, and urgency tactics) • Recognize the red flags inside your day-to-day workflow where fraud hides in “normal” exceptions and rushed approvals • Apply practical control techniques that reduce fraud risk while keeping approvals and payments moving • See the Quadient Accounts Payable platform in action through a live demo, including how automation supports prevention and audit-ready tracking If you’re heading into tax season trying to balance speed with control, this session will help you tighten the process where it matters most in the workflow so you can reduce risk without adding friction.
