Mission: Financial operations professionals (AP/Procurement/P2P and AR/Credit & Collections/O2C) are facing mounting pressures to improve their performance. To meet operational and strategic goals, cash must be paid and collected faster – and more accurately. Compliance regulations are continually changing – and the fines are increasing. And threats of fraud and abuse are on the rise. But despite these challenges, there are few reliable, independent, and comprehensive places to turn for help. That’s why IOFM exists.
