What do you do with the data related to accounts payable process three-way matches that go wrong, i.e., invoice, the purchase order and the receiving document don’t match? There’s a wealth of business intelligence in that data – if you choose to collect and analyze it. It can – and should – be used to drive process improvements across your entire procure to pay chain, not just your accounts payable function. In this episode we’ll show you why youshould analyze the data and a rather simple way to do it and how to use this data to fix problems in your AP shop, in parts of purchasing and with your supplier’s billing group.

The data from failures of the three-way match in accounts payable from processing accounts payable invoices, should be tracked. An analysis of the data from the three way match in accounting or the three way match in accounts payable can provide valuable insights into not only the accounts payable process but the entire procure to pay chain.

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.

Tips and insights are shared by everyday Wordle players – and one of them is absolutely mind-blowing. Can’t believe no one ever focused on these #Wordle issues before. The #WordleTips included are not discussed and present a unique, and winning way of looking at #Wordle puzzles.

Additionally, the talk shares insights on the biggest wordle aggravation, when most people play Wordle, how long Wordle players are willing to devote to a tough round of Wordle, and whether or not many have a standard second Wordle word when their standard first Wordle word doesn’t produce an adequate number of viable letters.

Wordle is the game that has been sweeping the Internet. With only one hand each day, players have six chances to guess the daily five-letter word. A green square indicates a correct letter in the correct spot and a yellow letter reveals a correct letter in a different spot. And then there are the little spoken-about Wordle tips. In fact, I’ve never seen one of them mentioned anywhere!

The tips and insights are shared by everyday Wordle players in this talk make it not only entertaining but also educational. Without out a doubt, I find it hard to imagine that no one ever focused on these Wordle issues before, but they are not mentioned in the popular press.
