It’s no secret that an advanced and innovative new technology can shift the way in which individuals in certain industries complete critical, daily tasks. For instance, access to big data and the ability to analyze it changed the way stakeholders across every sector thought about decision-making, enabling them to back their strategies with data-driven insights.

A recent report shows that several different technologies – including elements like virtual accounts, real-time payments and automation – are having a similarly disruptive effect in the treasury industry.

Rethinking financial operations management

In fact, according to a report from Global Finance Magazine on a survey completed at the International Treasury Management conference in Geneva this year, many treasurers note that new technological solutions and capabilities are shaking up long-held internal working processes.

“[T]reasurers are looking to leverage new and emerging technology solutions to create operational and strategic advantage,” wrote Global Finance Magazine contributor Anita Hawser. “[T]hese new solutions are also forcing treasurers to rethink how they manage their company’s operations.”

treasury automation softwareTreasury automation software offers numerous benefits for enterprise businesses.

Some of the top disruptive advancements identified by treasury workers include:

  • Virtual accounts: Decoupling accounts from physical systems enables treasurers to create a nearly unlimited number of accounts, each with a unique account number. This helps reduce the number of external accounts treasurers have to manage, while also making processes like payment reconciliation and reporting much easier.
  • Real-time payment systems: Additionally, as global firms increasingly move toward real-time payment systems, treasurers can better manage particularly time-sensitive payments and financial activity. As Hawser pointed out, these systems also enable financial managers to view incoming credits to their account, helping to support improved liquidity.

“Real-time and instant domestic payment schemes are proliferating around the globe,” noted Bruno Mellado of BNP Paribas in the report. “What is not yet clear at a corporate level is whether the benefits of real-time or instant payments will outweigh the costs; however, treasurers need to be prepared, particularly for incoming flows.”

Benefits of treasury automation software

One way treasury stakeholders can help ensure their preparedness for these and other technological financial innovations is by taking advantage of yet another emerging advancement: automation.

Automation has been popping up all over an array of sectors, but for treasury workers, automation translates to less manual, paper-based work, alongside considerable time savings and access to up-to-date financial information. As Hanse Orga CEO Sven Lindemann wrote for Treasury Management, automation also boosts overall efficiency while supporting more productive treasury work and a better relationship with other departments within the business.

“Automation and integration can now translate joined-up thinking and planning into joined-up business processes, through enhanced information exchange,” Lindemann wrote. “Treasury’s closer relationship with the rest of the organization enables it to base its key risk decisions on better quality information that is dependable, accurate and up to date.”

Solutions that support automation within the treasury department can also free up considerable time for finance workers to investigate and implement other, advanced technologies, such as those described above.

While the process of bank reconciliation may not be exciting, it’s something that’s absolutely essential for all businesses, large and small, across every industry. Bank reconciliation helps you ensure that your company’s internal records match those of the bank, and that no transactions or money have slipped through the cracks along the way. Keeping up-to-date and accurate records is, of course, imperative, no matter what type of organization you run.

Depending on the size of your company and the number of transactions you support every month, this process may be more arduous and involved than one might assume. Thousands of monthly transactions necessitate that each and every one be double-checked and reconciled, and that any discrepancies are flagged and addressed.

For these reasons, it’s simply not functional or efficient to complete reconciliation by hand. You need a best-in-class software solution that can help manage this process for you, while eliminating manual work and supporting accuracy. Let’s take a look at the different parts of a leading automated bank reconciliation platform and the role each feature plays in the reconciliation process.

Learn About Bank Reconciliation 

Compatible integration

The ability to integrate the solution with the internal software you already use is more crucial than you might think. Chances are good that your accounting team already uses a platform to manage your financial data, like Microsoft Dynamics AX. Instead of switching windows between your existing software and your reconciliation solution, your financial officers need an all-encompassing system, where they can ensure balance and accuracy from a single place.

Advanced automation

Manual work, especially within accounting process, can be considerably time-consuming, and can lead to mistakes that require additional time and resources to correct. When it comes to your organization’s bank reconciliation, manual pen-and-paper activity simply isn’t feasible anymore, particularly if you’re a business with multiple accounts that need to be balanced.

A best-in-class reconciliation solution will include advanced automation, enabling it to import your bank current statements without the need for prompt. What’s more, this advanced technology can run in the background and continuously pinpoint any discrepancies. This not only means your balances are always up-to-date, but your accountants can work proactively to immediately address any flagged transactions that might not match internal or bank records.

bank reconciliation softwareAutomated reconciliation software could be the perfect solution for your accounting department.

Robust security

Your banking information and associated details are highly sensitive, and these days, there’s no shortage of threats to this valuable data. Your bank reconciliation shouldn’t add to the risk – it should help protect your company financial details and transaction records. An industry-leading solution will offer end-to-end security, protecting data without releasing it into the cloud.

Treasury Automation: Bank reconciliation solution

Bank reconciliation solutions certainly aren’t one in the same. Your business needs a system that will support existing internal processes and software, help eliminate manual work while reducing errors and enable robust security for your sensitive data.

SKsoft’s Treasury Automation Suite includes automated bank reconciliation that’s compatible with Microsoft Dynamics AX, AX7, AX2012 and AX 2009. Our advanced automation means the solution automatically matches each transaction against bank records, enabling accuracy and reducing the chance for any discrepancy. And our industry-leading security ensures that your most important financial information is protected.

According to a recent study, accounting teams and C-suite executives have vastly differing opinions when it comes to their current accounts payable processes and the need for automated solutions.

The study – sponsored by SaaS firm Inspyrus and PayStream Advisors researchers – discovered that many executives are “far removed, if not out of touch” with their internal AP activity, PYMNTS reported.

This not only demonstrates the critical need for improvement in this area, but also underscores the importance of properly communicating the advantages of AP automation in a way that makes sense to decision-makers.

Fault and pain points in accounts payable

As PYMNTS noted, one researcher called the survey results “eye-opening” when describing the difference of opinion between employees who take part in AP workloads and the executives that oversee the business.

Overall, 93 percent of accounting professionals noted that there are faults in their existing AP processes, identifying manual data entry as a leading pain point contributing to these issues. At the same time, however, many executives did not agree – about half of C-suite decision-makers noted that their internal AP processes “work just fine.”

“Organizations can literally save millions through a combination of efficiency gains, cost savings and cash-back returns that come with combining invoice automation, payment automation and dynamic discounting — along with direct supplier enablement,” said Inspyrus Chief Strategy Officer Chris Preston. “However, complacency around the AP function threatens to hold organizations back from attaining these breakthrough automation efficiencies and financial returns.”

manual accounting issuesMost accounting pros say there are issues with their current AP processes

Highlighting key benefits for executives

However, the problem here remains, and accounting professionals must approach efforts at gaining executive buy-in for automation carefully. After all, executives may not be aware of all the in-depth detail and work involved in the current AP automation process, and it’s imperative that the accounting team highlight the advantages that will resonate the most with the C-suite.

In this vein, Untapped recommended discussing elements like:

  • The financial gains: This is particularly critical when speaking to the CFO. Underscoring advantages related to an AP automation solution’s robust return on investment, the low financial risks it presents, and how the technology will contribute to reporting accuracy and operational efficiency will help make the case here.
  • The ease of use and perks for internal IT: It’s also beneficial to demonstrate how an automated solution might support the internal IT team. As Untapped pointed out, many internal IT staff are stretched thin in terms of resourcing, and executives don’t want to put more on their shoulders with the deployment of another software platform. In this way, finding a supportive AP automation vendor is key.
  • Available options: Speaking of vendors, accounting teams seeking buy-in should do their research ahead of time and be ready to present different options that suit the company’s needs. Once convinced of the potential benefits, executives will want to be sure that they’re not overpaying for more features than they need, and that they’re selecting a robust and trustworthy software partner.
