Under Attack: Best Practices to Protect Your AP Department from Cybercriminals and Payment Fraud

Cybercriminals are targeting accounts payable (AP) departments with increasingly sophisticated schemes – putting your organization’s finances, reputation, and vendor relationships at risk. If you’re relying on manual AP processes or outdated systems, you may be more vulnerable than you think.

This webinar will help AP leaders strengthen their fraud defenses.
