If you saw the movie, Numbers, you might remember those women, the women who did all the calculations behind the first mission to the moon. They did them by hand and people got in rocket ships and were blasted to the moon based on those calculations. So, they had to be correct. Well, the job of a human computer exists no more. Will the same thing happen to accounts payable? Yes and No. Let me explain. Make sure you stick around until the end when I share the one career move that will spell disaster, if you take it in this environment. #accountspayable #accounting #career

You are not going to believe how far a bunch of criminals went recently to make an email look legit. I was blown away when I saw it, but upon reflection, it makes a lot of sense – from their standpoint, anyway. Wait until you hear how they started the fraud. It really got me thinking, about the challenges accounting and finance professionals encounter with regards to keeping both their company’s bank accounts and their own personal accounts safe. Make sure you stick around until the end when we share one tactic that you absolutely should not do. And before you say, there’s no way I would ever do that, keep in mind I’m mentioning it because I heard Mr. Beast – one of the most successful young YouTube entrepreneurs mention laughingly that he had done this exact thing … and of course, he’s changed this practice.

Why is no one talking about the increase in the workload of almost every accounts payable department. We keep hearing about smaller accounts payable departments due to the “supposed” decrease in work thanks to automation. But that does not address the very real issue of the increased workload every best practice organization has – often thanks to automation as I’ll explain. For if organizations don’t address these issues, they’ll end up with frauds so massive they could sink the entire company. Make sure to stick around until the end when I address the not only the obvious headache, but the offshoot of it, which few fully appreciate. #accountspayable #accountspayableautomation #accountspayablebestpractices

Are you aware of the newest ways crooks have found to exploit folks using Zelle? It boggles the mind. The innovative way criminals continue to exploit all sorts of payment mechanisms continues to astound me. Once again, I’m joined by Lynn Larson of Recharged Education, our go-to source for the latest Zelle scams. She’s here with an update. Make sure you stick around until the end, when she shares tips on how you can protect yourself against this latest atrocity. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in.

 

As Zelle accounts become more popular, crooks looking to get their hands on your money are getting more innovative and creative. In this episode we discuss yet another innovation criminals are using to defraud ordinary citizens of their hard-earned money. They are doing this using Zelle.

 

Zelle payments or payments made using the Zelle app are sometimes referred to as Instant Payments or Real Time payments. Although many sign up for Zelle through their bank, the bank does not have ultimate responsibility for these accounts. This has led to a lot of heartache and complaints when there was a fraud or scam perpetrated using a Zelle account.

 

Don’t let the Zelle dream turn into a Zelle nightmare, because you fell for one of the many Zelle scams. In this episode we review a number of ways crooks are scamming ordinary citizens who just happen to be Zelle users. This handy payment app makes it easy to transfer money from person to person simply by using an app on your phone. But without the proper care and controls, the app can become a nightmare. We take a look at some safety precautions every Zelle user should take to ensure they don’t get Zelle scammed. Stick around until the end when we share an often-overlooked Zelle safety precaution.

 

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.
