Course Description
You can’t have best practices in accounts payable without strong internal controls. They are an integral part. They are also very easy to overlook. While most executives are savvy enough to realize they need to be concerned about payment fraud, not everyone realizes they can also experience losses if they don’t have the proper controls around all aspects of their AP function. Duplicate and erroneous payments, audit issues and lost vendor credits all have a deleterious bottom line impact.
Control problems can creep into the procure-to-pay at almost any point in the process. Mary Schaeffer, your presenter for this session will show you how to take advantage of instilling controls across the entire accounts payable spectrum.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify controls that no longer work;
- Ensure your segregation of duties regime doesn’t fail;
- Create the “building blocks” of a strong internal control master plan
- Identify best control practices for the entire procure-to-pay process;
- Evaluate your own processes to identify weak controls that need tightening;
- Fix the questionable controls so fraud and erroneous payments don’t sneak through;
- Pinpoint control issues that arise when payments are made outside AP and show you how you can tighten those controls;
- Introduce practices that are often overlooked but strengthen controls; and
- Integrate strong fraud prevention routines into standard AP practices.

Course Instructor
Mary S. Schaeffer, MBA, has the inimitable ability to find accounts-payable-related solutions that really work—without making a major dent in the bottom line. Armed with a degree in math and a graduate degree in finance, she takes a “roll up your sleeves and dig into the details” approach to finding solutions to those problems that cause migraines for CFOs, controllers, and managers. Fifteen years spent researching and writing about payment issues gives Mary a unique vantage point. Combine that with an almost equal amount of time spent in the corporate trenches of several large finance and treasury departments, and you’ll understand …
