Has the role of your A/P changed recently?
Today’s market constriction has forced A/P to step up and play a more pivotal part of overall company operations.
Many A/P departments have seen their roles expand steadily over the past few years. Several factors are responsible for the expansion, such as a rising focus on cash management because of tightening credit markets and increased uncertainty about the economy.
In addition, the growing increase in automation has resulted in the average A/P department being more visible — and more service oriented.
