New accounts payable skills to impact the business results
The future of AP is undergoing a transformation, and this is big news. For years, AP tasks and workflows have remained relatively static, with slow evolution and a lack of innovation. AP has been characterized by manual processes, numerous challenges, and a high potential for human errors. Manual data entry, exception management, supplier communications, invoice duplicates, and fraudulent invoices are just a few of the daily hurdles faced by AP teams.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace of finance transformation, forcing companies to confront the obstacles that have hindered the adoption of new technologies in AP. Internal resource limitations, capital constraints, change management concerns, competition with other projects, and limited IT support have impeded progress in the past. But now, the time for a change in accounts payable has arrived. AP leaders must determine where to begin and how to manage the transition to new tools while preparing their teams for the future.
The following pages of this whitepaper will delve into the new accounts payable skills agents, the risks of resisting change, the role of automation and robots, and the importance of governance in implementing AP automation solutions. We will explore how AP teams can develop problem-solving, IT, and data science skills to adapt to the changing landscape. Moreover, we will discuss the transition from tactical to strategic skills, which can enable AP agents to think strategically, optimize business processes, and enhance overall effectiveness.
