This no-cost on-demand presentation, will discuss 6 ways money is seeping out of AP and what you can do about it:

1. Unaccounted liabilities that have not been recorded in a timely manner prevent management from having the tools they need to make less risky financial decisions.

2. Duplicate invoices are sent by vendors to multiple locations and departments and increase the chance of duplicate payments.

3. High cost per invoice due to slow processes, duplicate payments, missed discounts and late payment fees add up to make cost per invoice much higher.

4. Slow customer service because AP staff has to search through paper folders to track down invoices.

5. Missed early discounts can add up to real cash leaks and lost opportunities to build on future vendor relationships and negotiate favorable terms.

6. Late payment penalties because invoices were not processed on a timely basis can add up and are immediately deducted from the bottom line.

Your expert presenters:

Amy Hesse is the Accounts Payable & Cost Accounting Supervisor for Crown Equipment Corporation. Amy started her career in public accounting and moved to Crown's Internal Audit Department in 1999. She transferred to the Cost Accounting Department in 2002 and moved into her current position in 2003. Amy led the OnBase implementation at Crown. She also recently oversaw the centralization of the accounts payable function for Crown's manufacturing locations. This centralized department processes approximately 25,000 invoices per month. Amy holds a Bachelor's of Business Administration from The Ohio State University.

Crown Equipment Corporation implemented OnBase as its one source for document retention. Accounts Payable Workflow was implemented where invoices are electronically routed for approvals, research or processing as soon as they enter OnBase. This has enabled Crown to keep track of invoices and allows us to easily monitor employee workloads. We're able to route discount invoices within our workflow so they get processed first enabling Crown to take full advantage of supplier discounts that are offered. Our year-end close for Accounts Payable has also shrunk significantly as we know who has invoices to approve and how many invoices are yet to be processed.

Jasin Kessler serves as Industry Specialist for Accounting & Finance Solutions at Hyland Software Inc., the Westlake, Ohio- based developer of OnBase. Jasin's primary responsibilities include serving as Hyland's expert concerning the business processes around Accounts Payable.
