This course covers steps that can be taken throughout the payment process from selecting invoices for payment to setting up a Positive Pay file process with your bank. As details are supplied, benefits are highlighted. Here are a few:Reduce the risk of amounts being paid to the wrong payee.Confirm high dollar invoices were properly approved for processing before payment is made.Improve cash flow - ensure invoices are not being paid too early.Prevent the risk of fraud: secure the check stock and get rid of rubber stampsAnother way to reduce the risk of fraud is to implement a Positive Pay process, which is an automated fraud detection tool offered by most banks. This tool should be seriously considered by any company still issuing payments by check.Whether a company implements these options or not is up to management but they should at least be aware of available options that can help catch errors or areas of non-compliance before they snow ball into bigger issues such as payment to the wrong vendor or unauthorized spend."
