Where does control break down in your current AP process?

Discover where your accounts payable (AP) process shifts from preventive control to reactive problem-solving.

Finance should be able to influence spending before commitments are made. It’s the only way to ensure the full control you need over your organization’s financial health.

This diagnostic helps identify where control may be breaking down across your purchasing-to-payment process. With the tool, you’ll look at the six stages of AP control:

  1. Purchase consideration: When does Finance first gain visibility into a potential purchase?

  2. Approval: Does approval happen before the organization commits to spend?

  3. Purchase verification: Can AP easily verify the supplier, pricing, terms, and approval?

  4. Goods and services receipt: Is receipt documented and linked to the original purchase?

  5. Invoice discrepancies: Are mismatches prevented early or investigated downstream?

  6. Committed spend visibility: Can Finance see approved and ordered spend before invoices arrive?

Take the diagnostic to take the first step toward greater AP control.
