IOFM Exclusive: Unveiling the 2021 State of Accounts Payable

Have you ever wondered how your AP processes stack up against your peers? Or how you can unlock more value from your supplier payments? Or maybe what keeps you up at night is worrying about what’s coming next so your team can start preparing?

In this webinar, IOFM attendees will receive an exclusive look into MineralTree’s 2021 State of AP Report. Based on a survey of nearly 700 Finance and AP professionals, the report sheds light on how AP needs and priorities are evolving, new challenges on the horizon, and best practices that separate best-in-class AP teams from their peers. You’ll walk away with insights that you can apply immediately to your own AP operations to increase efficiencies, reduce cost, and drive more strategic business impact.

Among the findings to be shared:

• Where AP falls in the list of back-office digitization priorities (the answer may surprise you!)
• The biggest AP pain points and how many organizations are addressing them with automation
• Payment mix trends and key obstacles to greater electronic payment adoption
