Many people think they don’t do any public speaking at work; most are wrong. Whether we like it or not, we all have to speak in public sometimes, even if it’s something as simple as a Zoom call. Likewise, many don’t think they need an Elevator, or Networking pitch. Correction: Everyone does and in this video we explain why. #networkingpitch #accountspayable #APWeek

Whether you work in accounts payable, accounting, P2P, audit, treasury or some other corporate function, the likelihood is that you have to do amount, of public speaking. We include in that definition the following: Zoom calls, staff meetings and presentations to management. AP Now's Mary Schaeffer is joined by Jamie Radford, CEO of the AP Association, a global organization headquartered in the UK.

This talk is part of a week-long series for AP Appreciation Week. There is a link to the series below. The idea behind AP Appreciation Week is two-fold. First, it is a time for companies and their managers to show their appreciation for their accounts payable team. And, secondly, it is the time when AP Now says thank you to the community of professionals that supports our mission. Thus, we try and provide information this week that will help each professional individually in meeting their career goals. [And in once case, we just want to have a little bit of fun.]

Accounts payable and accounting require the use of both accounts payable best practices and strong account payable internal controls. For the accounts payable process to work well, best practices for AP should be used. By their very nature, accounts payable best practices incorporate strong internal controls and avoid AP control weaknesses.
