AP Controls and Fraud Detection: Stopping Duplicate Payments and Errors
Your auditor tests a sample, once a quarter. The duplicates and the fraud run every day, across all of it. This is where that gap gets closed.

Session FAQ
The agents review every AP transaction for the patterns that sample-based, quarterly controls tend to miss: duplicate payments, including the same invoice under a different vendor record or with one digit changed in the invoice number; vendor bank-detail changes that match a business-email-compromise pattern, held for review before payment; and out-of-policy approvals, such as a split invoice that slips under an approval limit or an approver acting outside delegated authority. Each is surfaced with the exact policy it violated and the reasoning behind the flag.
The agent flags and recommends for review; it does not block payments automatically or act outside policy. Continuous controls means every transaction is reviewed rather than a quarterly sample, but a human still decides on anything flagged. Nothing is hidden and nothing acts on its own, so your team keeps full control of every disposition.
No. It runs on top of SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or a custom AP stack, with no rip and replace and no migration. The agents review the transactions flowing through the ERP you already operate.
Every flag is explained in plain English, and every step is traceable from invoice to review to release, so the lineage is defensible in a SOX review. That is different from a probabilistic confidence score: rather than being told a transaction is some percentage likely to be a problem, your auditor can follow exactly how a payment was controlled, which policy was evaluated, and why the agent reached its conclusion.
AP Directors and Heads of Accounts Payable, Controllers and Assistant Controllers, CFOs and VPs of Finance, Internal Audit, Risk and SOX leaders, and Heads of Procure-to-Pay and Shared Services. It is built for companies with 500 to 5,000 employees, and is a strong fit for banking, insurance, and other regulated sectors where the audit question comes first.
A one-page framework showing the four levels of AP controls maturity: Level 1 (manual review, tested by sample once a quarter), Level 2 (ERP rules and exact-match duplicate checks), Level 3 (RPA or scripts with rigid rules), Level 4 (AI agents reviewing 100 percent of transactions with full audit lineage). Every registrant receives it within 24 hours of registering.
Registration is free. Reserve your seat using the form in the sidebar, or open the Zoom registration link directly. Each registrant receives the calendar invite, the same-day recording, and the AP Controls Maturity Framework within 24 hours.
Register anyway. Every registrant receives the recording on the same day as the session and the AP Controls Maturity Framework within 24 hours. You can also book a private working session to walk through your top exception and fraud-risk categories, your vendor-master hygiene, your approval policy, and your audit posture.
