Course Description:

This fast-paced, one-day training program will rapidly get you up to speed on invoice handling, checks, 1099s, e-invoicing, audits - all the tasks of today's multi-tasking AP specialists and managers. The program will prepare you for the certification exam, which can be taken at the end of the program or online at a later date.

The program is the ideal way to get new staff up to speed in a hurry, or to prepare to take the accounts payable specialist (APS), or accounts payable manager (APM) certification exam, developed by IOMA and the Accounts Payable Network (TAPN).

The program’s presenter, Ted Klein, is a respected consultant with expertise in Purchasing cards, T&E cards, and P-Card programs. Mr. Klein formerly ran the Accounts Payable organization at General Motors.

Topics Covered:

Why Is Accounts Payable Certification Necessary?

Much of what is done in accounts payable today has been developed in the past five years – some of it in the last two years. Today’s AP professionals must use the latest electronic processing technologies to drastically reduce the cost of their operations, must work intuitively with every system and department within the organization, and must now completely change a number of procedures while creating new ones due to Sarbanes-Oxley. This program helps AP professionals meet these challenges and demonstrate their expertise within their organization and to outside agencies.

Who Should Attend

The program is designed for experienced AP managers, their staff, or the AP department as a whole, as well as those overseeing the AP function including accounting department managers, controllers and shared services managers, payroll managers, and P-card administrators, in public, private, governmental and non-profit organizations.
