Accounts Payable Best Practices - Nashville, TN

Sheraton Music City Hotel Nashville • Nashville, TN

IOMA's Number-One Selling AP Guide Inspires a Powerful Full-Day Seminar!

The accounts payable operation of today is nothing like it used to be! Instead of performing simple transactional tasks, AP professionals of today are becoming more of a business partner in their companies, dealing with such issues as spend analysis, cash management, and becoming a more service-oriented operation. Plus, there are more complex exception-handling resolution issues as well as additional control/compliance activities. And, of course, new technology has given AP the tools to slash costs and boost efficiency.

Based on IOMA's Complete Guide to Accounts Payable Best Practices, and presented by the co-author, this one-day seminar presents documented best practices for AP that are used at the most highly admired companies.
