SPEND WITH CONFIDENCE; IMPROVE THE BOTTOM LINE

Amid the current financial crisis, many companies are reinventing their “back-to-basics” approach of monitoring spending, improving efficiency, and exercising tighter controls.

More than 70 CFOs and other senior finance executives gathered in Orlando in March for the 14th annual CFO Rising Conference. One hot topic of discussion was how companies can manage spending more effectively and improve payment-process efficiency. Many finance teams recognize that a return to the basics of monitoring spending and improving payment processes is necessary.
