FINANCE AND ERP
A payment beyond authorised limits
Scenario
An accounts payable agent receives a €25,000 invoice and prepares the payment in the ERP system.
Without control
Access to the ERP system may be enough to make an unauthorised payment. A hidden instruction in an invoice could also attempt to redirect the money to another account.
With Adaptive Runtime
- Routine payments to established suppliers can proceed automatically.
- Payments above defined limits, or inconsistent with ERP records, require approval or are rejected; higher-risk payments may require two approvers.
- A record is kept of who requested the payment, who authorised it and which rules were applied.
Rules and thresholds are tailored to the organisation’s systems and policies during the assessment.
