2021 Update: What AP Pros Want to Know About AR But Were Afraid to Ask (And Vice Versa)

Every day, AP and AR professionals rely on each other to pay and get paid – although each set of practitioners rarely has a comprehensive understanding of what the other side requires to do their job.

The limited understanding is not surprising; most AP professionals “rarely” proactively reach out to their vendor’s AR departments, even though doing so would likely boost efficiency, according to a recent survey conducted by IOFM.

With that in mind, IOFM will help break down the walls between AP and AR and moderate a highly interactive discussion.

This free webinar is your chance to understand the often faceless professional on the other end of the invoice. Join IOFM’s Executive Editor Jess Scheer and veteran consultant to AR practices (and longtime IOFM AR Certification Trainer) John Salek, as they moderate a discussion of the most common misconceptions from both sides of every business payment.

They will moderate a panel consisting of:

• Kristina Eaton (Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Expense Accounting Manager)
• Bilyana Gavrilova (Catalina’s Shared Services Manager)
• David Glass (West Virginia University Health System’s Director of Corporate AP)
• Jenelle Robinson (Zodiac Pool Systems’ AP Manager)
• Lisa Rolfe (The Reynolds Company’s Credit & Receivable Manager)

Come with the questions you always wanted to ask, but never had the opportunity.
