The first Finance event of the year will be focusing on AR and AP Automation and Unveiling the Role of Financing.
Imagine a scenario where invoices are being processed faster, errors reduced, and payments accelerated. By simplifying the processes involved in paying suppliers, collecting payments from customers & applying cash faster, AP and AR automation can significantly boost working capital.
The first session by Garoid Pierse from Serrrala delves into the transformative power of automating Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) processes by showcasing best practices in AR and AP automation through real-life case studies & how to choose the right vendor to maximise your SAP investment.
Explore the significant role of financing in bolstering working capital. Financing solutions such as Dynamic Discounting, Supply Chain Financing, Virtual Card, Receivables Financing and Inventory Financing can provide businesses with the necessary funds to meet short-term obligations, manage inventory, and seize growth opportunities. Join Robert Grimes from SAP to dive into various financing options, their benefits, the related business processes and how businesses can strategically utilise them to optimise working capital efficiency and ensure financial resilience in today's competitive landscape.
The day come to a close with a session from Jody Neale, Director of Finance Transformation from Sanctuary Group which will focus on gaining insight into the finance function within a housing industry, exploring how Finance teams navigate systems to deliver day to day operations and the critical role of data to produce Customer, internal, regulatory and compliance reporting.
