Accounts payable as we know it is disappearing. Advanced AI and automation are changing how AP teams work, how CFOs view their responsibilities, and the direction the entire industry is headed.
“In our latest report, Stop the AP Leak, Duplicate Payments, Slow Approvals and What Top CFOs Do Next, we looked beyond the obvious frustrations of manual AP: slow approvals, data errors, inconsistent processes and fraud susceptibility, and examined what the future holds,” said Sharon Nouh, CEO and Founder of ProSpend. “We spoke to several finance leaders from various industries to find out just how costly manual AP can be; their findings were accurate and even a little alarming.”
“We also looked at how leading companies are closing the gaps. The message from CFOs across industries was clear: automation is no longer optional for companies that want to stay competitive. It is now the foundation of a resilient and future-ready finance function.”
