AI foundations: A guide to business transformation through AI

In this live-streamed session, Accounting Times, in partnership with Hyland, will explore how accounts payable (AP) leaders can move beyond AI hype, improve operational efficiency, strengthen governance and deliver measurable business value through practical AI adoption.

About the live-stream

AI is creating new opportunities for AP teams, but its value lies beyond the hype. For finance leaders, the challenge is understanding where AI can make a meaningful difference to operational efficiency, cost control, compliance and business performance.

For AP teams managing growing invoice volumes, complex approval workflows and increasing demands for visibility, AI can help reduce manual effort, improve exception handling and turn financial data and documents into useful business insights. But successful transformation requires more than adopting new technology. It depends on reliable data, effective governance and a clear understanding of where AI can deliver measurable value.

In this session, we will explore how AP leaders can move from AI experimentation to practical business transformation, balancing innovation with the need for accuracy, security and control.

Join us to explore

• How to assess AI readiness across people, processes and technology.
• Where AI and intelligent document processing can deliver the greatest value across AP.
• How to improve productivity and manage growing invoice volumes without increasing headcount.
• What AP leaders need to consider about AI governance, data security and compliance.
• How AI can provide insights into cash flow, supplier performance and operational bottlenecks.
• How to overcome adoption barriers and prioritise practical applications that deliver a measurable return on investment.
