Speaking Topics
How the Vendor Master File is now the P2P
Key in a Digital and Fraud Society
Whether you have no clearly defined process, a
paper/electronic form or a vendor self-registration portal,
vendor onboarding and maintenance processes can be
improved to reduce the potential for fraud in the vendor master
file.
Changing Your Company's Mindset Toward
the Vendor Master File
Vendor Master files have always been the basis - good or bad
- of the Procure to Pay process. In today's reality of cyber
attacks and fraud, it is now getting the attention it deserves.
How do we use this new focus on the real day-to-day
operations of vendor processing and change mindsets to
eliminate rush vendor requests and exceptions to get and
maintain a clean vendor master file?
Social Engineering and the Vendor Master
File: Case Studies
Phishing and Vishing are today's threats for Accounts Payable
Help Desk team members. Internal Controls and
Authentication Procedures can reduce the potential for fraud
in your Vendor Master file. Review Case Studies to determine
how these attempts could have been reduced.
