Procure to pay is the target for fraudsters of many kinds both inside and outside your organization. Consider the possibility of receiving a perfectly legitimately-looking invoice which gets approved and processed before it is determined that the sender of the invoice is a "ghost" vendor with nothing more than a postal box for an address.Or-the case of the large retailer whose Accounts Payable department honored the E-mail request of a "vendor" to switch from check payment to ACH payment, only to learn several millions dollars in fraudulent payments later, that the sender was a fraudster.The variety of frauds that can and do plague the three components of the P2P cycle-Purchasing, Receiving and Disbursement-is large and growing. The good news is that with adequate awareness of the threat and the means and expertise to detect weaknesses in internal controls, a very effective prevention framework can be built..and maintained.
