Protect your company’s reputation and revenue from the first time you engage with a supplier and throughout the supplier lifecycle.
Every day, finance teams lose money to duplicate payments, missed credits, and fraudulent activity. In an increasingly digital and fast-moving world, these issues aren’t just clerical—they’re strategic. The rise in AI-powered fraud, sophisticated phishing schemes, and vendor manipulation demands smarter, automated defenses.
CFOs must evolve from reactive risk managers to proactive protectors of enterprise value.
Revenue leakage often hides in duplicate payments and missed credits—especially in complex vendor ecosystems and fragmented ERP environments. Manual processes make it even harder to catch these errors, quietly draining millions from the bottom line.
In fact, for every $1 billion in spend, an estimated $2 million in overpayments slip through normal ERP controls.
To combat this, leading organizations use recovery audits to identify payment errors, duplicates, and missed credits. These audits not only recover lost funds but also deliver insights to strengthen controls and prevent repeat mistakes—turning recovery into a tool for continuous improvement.

Fraudulent bank account change requests are a top tactic for fraudsters. Attackers pose as legitimate suppliers to redirect payments, exploiting weak validation processes. Even one compromised update can lead to major financial losses.
Check and payment tampering schemes go undetected for an average of 24 months, making early prevention critical.

Fraud is evolving fast—targeting vulnerabilities across procure-to-pay systems with tactics like fake suppliers, impersonation, and payment redirection. These attacks often strike during onboarding or vendor updates, when controls are weakest.
To stay ahead, organizations are turning to fraud detection solutions that continuously monitors vendor activity, flags anomalies, and scores risk in real time.
This proactive approach is critical—especially when the average loss per fraud case is $1.7 million. With automated controls and constant oversight, teams can detect fraud early and act before damage is done.

When suppliers can’t see invoice or payment status, they flood help desks with questions—slowing down AP teams and straining relationships. The result is unnecessary friction and wasted time on both sides.
Self-service supplier portals give vendors secure, real-time access to invoice and payment updates without needing to contact internal teams.
Organizations that implement these tools often reduce help desk inquiries by up to 60% and achieve full ROI in as little as six months—freeing up resources and boosting supplier satisfaction.

Traditional early payment programs often miss the mark—limited by static discounts, manual processes, and one-size-fits-all offers. Without personalization or real-time insight, adoption stays low and value is lost on both sides.
Modern solutions use automation and supplier segmentation to deliver dynamic discounting tailored to supplier needs and cash flow cycles. Suppliers get faster access to cash, while finance teams unlock real savings and improve working capital strategy.
This data-driven approach turns AP from a cost center into a value driver.
