Description :

Electronic payments are fast becoming the preferred method of payment for best-practice companies. The COVID crisis shined a light onto the inefficiencies of making paper payments. While many professionals were well aware that paper checks were expensive and used valuable human resources, this detail was often swept under the rug. With an increasingly remote workforce, feigning ignorance no longer works. Ss organizations recognize the cost-savings and efficiencies associated with ACH payment programs, they are starting to change. This will only continue with the introduction of Real Time payments.  This course presents basic information the professional can use to properly set up and grow and ACH payment program, understand when to use more costly wire transfers and how to use Instant Payments.  Industry expert Mary Schaeffer shows auditors, controllers, and managers exactly how to do this. She also alerts readers to the growing threat of fraud in this arena, offering advice for everyone – whether or not they are currently making electronic payments. “Everyone who does not take the proper precautions is at risk,” she warns.
