It also includes the added insight of how AP organizations have been impacted by, and been responding to, Covid-19.
In 2020, the accounts payable (“AP”) profession continues to gain momentum and impact business operations and results in an increasingly strategic way. The global uncertainty that pervades today’s market indicates the very real threat of a deep economic downturn.

Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, this renewed focus on liquidity and cash management is poised to pull AP into the limelight with an urgency never before seen.

Recent events have presented AP with an opportunity to drive change for the function and position the group as a dynamic source of value during this period of pervasive uncertainty.
