Frequently Asked QuestionsFoundations of Vendor Spend Compliance

Without linking your vendor management and accounts payable processes, you are setting your organization up for overpaying vendors, missing renewal pricing discounts, or missing key compliance elements. The same is true for Accounts Receivable with under collections and missed opportunities for contractual term negotiation and realignment at renewals.

Consultants and additional FTEs are required to run a due diligence and contract program in the absence of software. Once you factor in the cost of unintended auto-renewals, overpayments, and poor expense management of contract terms, expenses, and liabilities due to gaps between those in the organization that rely on the vendor, procurement and finance become high. In organizations, avoidable duplicate payments represent about 0.5% of all payments. Although 0.5% doesn’t sound like much, it does reflect significant sums at scale. For example, 0.5% of $1B in AP is $5M in duplicate payments going out each year.

Companies are increasingly being required to report on their spending with diverse suppliers, including minority, veteran, disabled, and women-owned businesses. Regulators often require companies to report quarterly on their diversity data, from the number of contracts in place to how much is spent.

The risks of waste, fraud, abuse, and noncompliance in financial transactions increase unnecessarily when finance lacks transparency and accountability; accountability with vendors, and on behalf of the many stakeholders across the organization that those vendors serve. This can result in preventable financial reporting misstatements, cash flow inaccuracies, contract disputes, or even regulatory liabilities.

Vendor Spend Compliance is more than just the contractual money owed by a business to its suppliers. Managing financial transactions of an organization and their accounting means identifying the sources of risk in vendor management. These risks are controlled by integrating an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system to provide a supervisory umbrella over your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. ERP systems record risks that have already happened, while LogicManager’s ERM system manages all the risks that have not yet happened. That way, you can prevent the negative impact of risks by providing better governance over financial controls within your operations.

Integrating disparate systems, like Workday and DelTek Costpoint, can help companies:

  • Eliminate quarterly reconciliation between their various systems 
  • Make it easier to interact and receive information from vendors

When conducting business with vendors, there are a variety of risks your business faces, from financial to reputational. Procurement risk management software helps your business keep compliant while protecting your organization’s reputation by identifying and mitigating risks before they become an issue.
