Presentation Details
"Proactively Identifying & Preventing Unauthorized Deductions: An Innovative Approach" discusses how corporations can reduce the millions of dollars associated with receivables write-offs and higher operating costs. The presentation will address:
-- How an innovative approach to deductions management that includes proactively identifying and preventing errors upstream in the quote-to-cash cycle -- before the invoice is sent out and before they manifest into costly downstream deductions issues -- can dramatically reduce the number of preventable or unauthorized deductions. -- How to effectively determine why errors are occurring, help evaluate root cause effects, and drive forward key process improvements. -- How best practices around deductions management processes can reduce revenue leakages and receivables write-offs, lower operating costs, improve customer satisfaction levels, and facilitate Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
"Driving Maximum Value From Proactive Collection Management Strategies" is aimed at helping companies move cash flow improvements from a downstream collections process to a proactive one, which affects working capital throughout the entire quote-to-cash cycle and delivers an exponential effect on reducing days sales outstanding (DSO), preventing revenue leakage and improving the overall customer experience. This presentation will address:
-- How complex business processes and information gaps can negatively impact working capital. -- Methodologies and strategies necessary to achieve world-class best practices around your quote-to-cash cycle, which positively impact financial performance, operational excellence and customer satisfaction. -- Key practices for adopting a proactive approach to cash management by identifying and preventing potential disputes upstream in the quote-to-cash cycle -- before the invoice is sent out -- and before disputes manifest into costly downstream collections and payment issues. -- Innovative approaches employed by leading corporations in the manufacturing sector who are embracing best practices to significantly reduce DSO.
