As businesses increasingly focus on efficiency and cost-cutting, the need for knowledgeable procure-to-pay (P2P) professionals who can streamline procurement and accounts payable (AP) continues to grow. Supply chain disruptions have also intensified the spotlight on procurement as a critical area for improvement. Skilled P2P professionals can deliver cost savings and a competitive edge to their employers by streamlining necessary business functions and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, the market for procurement software is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, which in turn will require highly skilled individuals who understand the P2P process and the role of rapidly evolving technology within it.
This P2P training program is designed to equip you with the skills necessary to operate within an aligned procurement/AP function. You will master the fundamentals of every step of the P2P process, including procurement, vendor master file management, receipt of goods/services, and accounts payable. Your P2P certification course also covers cash and risk management to protect your organization and the role of technology in the P2P process. Upon completing the P2P course, you will be prepared to take a 90-minute, 100-question multiple-choice exam to demonstrate your ability to manage the P2P process and earn the Accredited Procure-to-Pay Specialist (APPS) designation from the Institute of Finance and Management (IOFM).
