An executive briefing on what happens after invoices are approved. Most organisations have invested heavily in invoice accuracy, approval speed and control. Yet once an invoice is approved, payment is still treated as a fixed outcome. This session is for senior finance leaders who want to understand whether approved payables can be used more deliberately. Without rigid programmes, supplier friction or long-term commitments.
Featuring peer and market perspectives from Visy, HSBC and Mastercard.
In many organisations, invoices are approved earlier and more reliably than ever. Controls are tighter and visibility is better. Payment timing and method, however, remain largely unchanged. At the same time, suppliers routinely trade value for access to cash. Usually outside the buyer's control or visibility.
This session exists to help you decide whether that gap matters in your environment. And whether anything practical can be done about it.
This is not about choosing a model. It is about understanding whether the opportunity exists for you.
Every attendee will receive a short, practical guide designed to help you assess whether payment optionality exists after invoice approval, identify where control already sits and where it does not, and decide whether further exploration is warranted or whether to defer the topic.
A valid outcome is deciding this is not a priority right now. The session is structured to give you enough clarity to make that call, either way.
Attendance is intentionally limited to support a peer-level discussion.
The core framing and peer insights are covered in the first half of the session.
