In my last two blog posts “Check Payment Method? Still Needs to be Protected from Cybercriminals” and “4 Steps to Protect Your Vendors Banking from Being Changed by a Cybercriminal Includes a Critical Step Most Companies Leave Out” I identified additional steps that will need to be done when making changes to existing vendor data. In fact, many of the fraud prevention techniques I recommend to protect the vendor master file from fraud require additional steps. And, since less than 30% of Accounts Payable (AP) Vendor Maintenance teams have a vendor self-registration portal, these additional tasks are manual and are added to an already manual or mostly manual Vendor Setup & Maintenance process. RPA to the rescue.
