By Pranjali Singh. ## The session On October 19, 2022, Aavenir hosted a webinar on the problems that slow invoice processing for accounts payable, procurement and legal teams, and how AI assisted automation addresses them. The discussion covered long review and payment cycles, spend leakage and compliance risk. ## The problems teams raised The panel described a set of issues most finance teams will recognize: - Little visibility into which invoices are pending, approved or paid - Spend leakage from overpayments, missed early payment discounts and incorrect coding - Invoice fraud and audit risk - Strained supplier relationships from late payments and slow resolution of discrepancies Invoice data extraction and invoice review came up as the two biggest bottlenecks, because both still depend on people reading documents and typing. ## What the panel recommended The speakers argued that faster and more accurate processing needs automation that reads invoices and claim documents as they arrive, catches errors and duplicates early, and shows approval status to everyone involved. Auditing invoices against the contract, using two and three way matching with purchase orders and receipts, was singled out as the way to stop paying more than was agreed. They also stressed the supplier side: clear communication about invoice status and disputes keeps relationships healthy, and dashboards for accounts payable performance measures help teams see where the delays are. ## Where Invoiceflow fits [Invoiceflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/accounts-payable-automation/) applies these ideas today.
