Next-Gen AP: Top Skills Required
The role of AP within the organization continues to evolve, becoming more strategic to overall operations each year. The scope of today’s AP work extends well beyond its traditional duties. In 2023, all AP staffers work to develop a clear understanding of their enterprise and how it interacts with AP.
They must also continue to bring new skills and knowledge to bear, which can include having a comprehensive understanding of the P2P process, leading fraud detection and mitigation efforts, expanding core AP reporting and analysis, and adopting a customer service mindset. AP managers and leaders must regularly evaluate and develop the organizational skills and competencies that will ensure their team’s value and relevance.
