The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Accounting
Accounting is one of the most important, yet daunting and expensive departments in almost all companies.
Accountants oversee all financial operations of a business to help it run smoothly and efficiently. These include preparing and analyzing financial statements (e.g., cash flow, income statement, balance sheet), paying taxes on time, and maintaining the companies’ general ledger (GL). All these tasks require a great deal of human interaction that takes time and money; no matter how careful an employee may be, there is always the chance for human error, which could snowball and lead to devastating financial results in the future.

What are best practices for AP automation?We are looking to unleash some of the AP automation features however it would be helpful to understand the successes and failures of others in advance?

Wow - great question. There really are so many best practices within the space of AP Automation. Definitely reach out to me for the details but in general, automate every manual or repetitive task. Use technology enablers like a procurement system (create Purchase Orders) so that you can then match invoices to POs. Add e-invoices or scan & capture to digitalize paper invoices and your automation rates will be pretty good. Bundle in payment automation and you've got a completely digital process from procurement to payment - it's important to realize that best practices in Accounts Payable really deliver when you see the broader process as a single process.
