"AP Expo 2013 features several opportunities for professionals to further their education," said RD Whitney, executive director of IOFM. "Marianne Couch is a 1099 expert, and AP Expo is fortunate to have her returning to teach this class yet another year. We encourage attendees who need to this training to take it."
A robust accounts payable agenda drives AP Expo 2013, the only AP membership meeting strictly focused on accounts payable education and practical approaches to automation, leadership and process improvements.

For a number of reasons, e-invoicing projects fail. West’s workshop will afford attendees the opportunity to discuss their own situations, capabilities and limitations. Examining what an organization must do in order to succeed, she and they will explore how the 10 critical success factors can be worked into various organizations’ circumstances.
