Accounts Payable Transactions
Automated monitoring of Accounts Payable transactions and Master File data provides 100% assurance and transparency to senior executives and company boards that risks are being managed effectively.
Errors and Fraud in your Accounts Payable process typically result in annual losses of 1% – 5% of revenue
Our many years of automated monitoring experience have proven that companies can lose between 1%-5% of annual revenue due to errors and fraud across their accounts payable processes. Whilst Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can provide many of the needed business controls, these are often inadequate or poorly implemented and do not provide the assurance required for governance, risk, business insight, or peace of mind. Through automated monitoring of all accounts payable transactions and controls, significant cost savings and compliance can be achieved.
Address exceptions in a timely manner
Accounts payable monitoring with Satori’s Solution ensures exceptions are addressed in a timely manner, daily, weekly or monthly. Exceptions that are presented to the business due to an annual review may not be relevant at the time of reporting, making it too late to take meaningful action.
Rather than following up on a potential incorrect payment that happened months ago, Satori allows you to identify errors and fraud as they happen. This allows you to detect the root cause of errors immediately and dramatically improves your chances of remediation.
How it works
Satori automatically monitors Accounts Payable risks within an organisation on a daily basis across multiple disparate data sources including the ERP. Potential exceptions identified can then be highlighted and investigated to ensure minimal loss to the organisation. This provides 100% assurance to the board that these risks are being managed effectively.
Sample Accounts Payable risks monitored:
- Duplicate invoices – Avoid multiple combinations and fuzzy logic
- GST amount validation
- Open credits
- PO date after invoice date
- Supplier bank account changes
- Supplier ABN and GST registration
Greater Assurance
Satori provides management with greater visibility of what Accounts Payable departments and teams are doing to resolve and remediate issues that have been raised.
Our customisable case management and workflow engine is a key differentiator to standard exception reporting, providing managers with greater assurance that potential risks are being addressed.
