Why this topic matters now

Accounts Payable is one of the most controllable financial levers in the enterprise, yet an estimated $53 billion is lost globally each year through financial leakage in AP. On average, companies lose 0.35% of annual spend to duplicate payments, missed credit notes, invoice errors and fraud. This means for every $1 billion of spend, your organisation could be losing $3.5 million.
 
The root cause lies in finance functions that remain only partially automated. Mixed invoice formats, shifting ERP landscapes and rising transaction volumes allow small discrepancies to compound quietly across thousands of transactions. Losses are often only identified after payment, not before. The impact extends beyond cash. Retrospective recovery drives rework, supplier friction and limited executive visibility into real-time risk. Even within mature GBS structures, the lack of transaction-level oversight prior to the pay run allows leakage to remain embedded in the process.


What you'll learn in this webinar

  • Quantify potential AP leakage exposure

    Use spend-based benchmarks to estimate how much value may be lost to duplicate payments, missed credit notes, invoice errors and fraud.

  • Identify control blind spots in AP

    Examine how mixed invoice formats, changing ERP landscapes and growing transaction volumes create control gaps beyond standard ERP checks and recovery audits.

  • Shift from recovery to prevention

    See how leading organisations monitor transactions before the pay run and use AI to enable proactive prevention, faster root-cause analysis and measurable improvements.
