Preventing invoice fraud? Invest in a workflow system!

Invoice fraud is a growing problem for organizations. You’ve probably seen a phantom invoice pass by before. And the widely feared phishing email, which makes an urgent request for payment to a financial administrative employee, will not be foreign to you either. The question is: how do you effectively counter such fraud attempts? In a previous blog, we described that WhiteVision’s SMART-OCR solution has a standard functionality to detect phantom invoices. As a user, you are then alerted to this so you can take action. When we recently thought together about invoice fraud, we realized that good workflow software is also very suitable for preventing phishing mails. How? We’re happy to share that with you in this blog.

Digital workflow: consistency, monitoring and efficiency

The defining characteristic of a workflow system is that it helps you automate and optimize existing work processes. It provides overview, lets you work more efficiently and leaves you time for things that really matter. At the same time, a workflow also allows you to formalize your process. What does this mean? Suppose you want to make a payment based on an incoming invoice. You go through this process the same way every time – the purchase invoice is uniformly registered, archived and posted and then sent around for approval. Once all signatures are in place, the invoice can be finalized and you can proceed to payment. A standard process within every company – whether you work digitally or manually. The repetition of this process depends on the level of automation. Put more simply, a good, clear work process is the same every time – and automation can greatly enhance its consistent execution and monitoring. This is why it makes sense to invest in a digital workflow.  

Overcoming phishing emails and invoice fraud: use a workflow system

A good workflow solution handles recurring activities and monitors their consistency. As an employee and process controller in financial administration, you only have to set up such a system once. Then you can concentrate fully on deviations and exceptions. If a phishing email comes in, for example, the system will automatically alert you. The chance of filtering out such a message in time is therefore many times greater! Are you interested in a workflow system to better protect your organization against invoice fraud?

Practical tips for a smooth quarterly closing

For many finance departments, the end of the quarter is a recurring peak period. Invoices must be processed, entries checked, VAT returns prepared, and reports drawn up. If processes are not optimally organized during the quarter, work piles up in the final weeks. However, closing the books at the end of the quarter doesn’t have to be a stressful sprint. With the right processes and smart support, you can spread the workload, reduce errors, and deliver reliable figures faster. In this blog, you can read how to make your quarterly closing more efficient and manageable.

Getting a grip on your purchasing process: how to make the transition to digital and efficient

A well-designed procurement process is more important than ever for many organizations. The amount of data is growing, supplier relationships are becoming more complex, and finance and procurement teams have less and less time for manual administrative tasks. At the same time, organizations want more control over costs, contracts, obligations, and risks. However, in practice, the procurement process is often fragmented. Information is scattered across mailboxes, PDFs, spreadsheets, or folders. Contracts disappear from view and invoices are still checked manually. This makes it difficult to work more efficiently and base decisions on reliable data. More and more organizations are therefore looking at how they can organize their procurement process more intelligently. In this blog, you can read how to do this digitally, which technological developments are changing the process, and how you can benefit from this.

AI in document processing: smart automation with IDP

Every day, organizations process large quantities of documents: invoices, order confirmations, contracts, and other administrative documents. Although these documents are increasingly being received digitally, they are often still processed manually. This takes time, increases the risk of errors, and makes processes less predictable. Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) helps to make document processing smarter and more efficient. Not by simply reading text, but by actually understanding documents. What exactly is IDP, what does it offer, and what do you need to take into account?
