Cross-Training for Finance: Increase Flexibility & Boost Performance

On-Demand Recording

Summary

Accounts Payable and Payroll are crucial functions for every business, but those roles can quickly be disrupted when employees take vacation, get sick or are displaced by unexpected circumstances. It’s no picnic for the finance team members left to cover for each other.

We’ll show you how with the right cross-training plan you can not only keep your organization running at maximum efficiency, but sidestep costly compliance issues. 

Join finance expert Dayna Reum to gain solutions to unexpected challenges and strategies to avoid potential compliance errors if there are sudden gaps in critical areas of your finance department or processes. You’ll discover:

  • Best practices for process documentation to keep both departments organized
  • Ways to communicate what each department needs to be successful when staffing is low or disrupted
  • How to use IRS guidelines and reporting to determine key processes that must be covered
  • Security and segregation of duty concerns employers need to address

Cross-training best practices for your AP and Payroll functions

  • How to foster improved communication between AP and Payroll
  • Developing clear process documentation for both departments
  • What does each department need from the other to be successful?
  • Common mistakes made in each department and how to avoid them

  • Up-to-date best practices for handling business expenses
  • The final rule on which department is responsible for Form W-9
  • Understand fringe benefits and the impact they have on both departments
