Fraud-Proofing Accounts Payable: What Today’s Threat Landscape Demands

Payment fraud is high, and accounts payable is squarely in the crosshairs.  Recent research shows that 84% of AP leaders lack strong confidence in their defenses.  Fraudsters are exploiting manual workflows, vendor email compromises, weak verification processes, and control gaps, often slipping through unnoticed until the damage is done. 

This webinar will share key findings on payment fraud from a WBR Insights research study commissioned by Edenred Pay and translate them into practical strategies accounts payable leaders can use immediately.  Our speakers will discuss how today’s fraud schemes work, where AP departments unknowingly expose their organizations to risk, and how to build a modern fraud mitigation strategy that protects payments without slowing operations. 

What you’ll learn: 

• The most common fraud tactics impacting AP today
• Hidden vulnerabilities inside AP workflows that fraudsters exploit
• How to build a layered fraud mitigation strategy
• Key considerations when evaluating fraud prevention solutions
• Immediate steps AP leaders can take to protect payments and strengthen compliance
