1:50 PM From Cyber Fraud to Payment Flow: Strengthening Controls Across Supply Chain & Finance

As invoice volumes grow and supply chains become more complex, shared services teams must balance two competing priorities: processing payments faster while preventing increasingly sophisticated fraud. At the same time, cyber-enabled fraud and AI-driven scams are becoming more sophisticated, targeting vendor payments, invoice processes, and bank account changes across procurement and accounts payable. In response, leading organizations are rethinking how controls are embedded directly into business processes. By leveraging automation and AI, shared services leaders are streamlining verification, reducing manual checks, and strengthening oversight across procurement, AP, and supply chain payments.

Speakers will discuss how organizations are improving visibility, managing exceptions more intelligently, and introducing AI-driven controls that help detect suspicious activity earlier and automatically. The conversation will highlight how modern shared services teams can reduce fraud exposure, eliminate operational friction, and create more resilient finance processes while maintaining efficiency and strong supplier relationships.
