In today’s digital age, businesses face a dual challenge: harnessing the power of technology for efficiency while safeguarding against rising online threats in Accounts Payable. Just as we secure our homes against intruders, our businesses, often more vulnerable, require even greater protection.
TRAILD emerges as a beacon in this landscape, promising not just streamlined operations but a fortified defense against sophisticated scammers. For businesses, large or small, falling prey to scams can be crippling, making solutions like TRAILD not just beneficial, but essential.
The Accounts Payable Dilemma
A recent AP Now survey unveiled that 71% of businesses face challenges with slow invoice approvals or issues in purchase order matching, with over half still relying on manual invoice entries. Manual processes caused major setbacks for many, including a family business. They mistakenly paid a compromised $50,000 invoice.
In Australia, the repercussions of invoice fraud and business email compromise are profound, with losses estimated at $896 million. Disturbingly, only one in seven businesses report such incidents, with the average loss exceeding $100,000. While banks often intervene in minor credit card frauds, businesses bear the brunt of larger financial discrepancies.
Many opt for manual reviews and approvals, a method riddled with potential for human error. In this challenging landscape, TRAILD stands out, offering a solution that marries efficiency with heightened security in the accounts payable process.
Common Issues With Manual Accounts Payable Process
Efficiency and accuracy are paramount in today’s fast-paced business environment, However, many organisations still grapple with manual Accounts Payable (AP) processes, which can lead to a myriad of challenges. Let’s delve into some of the most common issues faced:
- Towering Stack of Invoices – With a manual system, invoices can quickly pile up, leading to delays in processing and potential late payment penalties.
- Manual Variance Checks – Checking variances between purchase orders (POs) and PO receipts manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Prolonged Review and Approval- Without an automated system, the internal review and approval process can be slow, causing payment delays.
- The Endless Chase for Information- Chasing down missing information via email can be a tedious task, leading to further delays and inefficiencies.
- Forfeiting Early Payment Discounts – Manual processes can result in missing out on valuable early payment discounts offered by suppliers.
- Intermittent Spot Checks- With a manual system, checking for duplicate invoices and errors becomes a sporadic activity, increasing the risk of oversights.
- Time-Consuming Data Entry- Manually entering invoice data into accounting software is not only time-consuming but also increases the chances of human error.
