9:00 AM Driving High-Performance AP Automation with Governed AI: Why ERP Integration is the Key

Finance leaders are under increasing pressure to modernize Accounts Payable without introducing risk. AI promises faster invoice processing, fewer exceptions, and smarter coding - but only when it operates within the financial controls, data structures, and audit requirements of the ERP.

In this session, we'll explore how Governed AI, governed by tight, real-time ERP integration, is transforming AP automation into a secure, compliant, and highly scalable operation. Attendees will learn how organizations are deploying AI to handle classification, extraction, matching, and coding - while maintaining full control over accuracy, data governance, and auditability.

By attending this session, you will learn:

  • The AI-ERP Connection: Discover why high-performance extraction, validation, matching, GL-coding, and vouchering require your ERP to act as the "Source of Truth" to prevent "hallucinations" and data silos.
  • The 3 A's of Governed AI: A practical look at how Accuracy, Auditability, and Accountability protect your AP workflow from fraud and ensure 100% compliance with your existing internal controls.
  • Scaling Without Headcount: How to transition your team from manual data entry to higher value roles by automating 80% or more of your total invoice volume.
