JANUARY Luncheon Event

Session title: Culture Shock: Why Treasury’s Vendor Onboarding Blind Spot is a Fraud Risk You Can’t Ignore

Session description: Treasurers and finance leaders often focus on optimizing cash flow, forecasting, and managing payments, yet many overlook a critical cultural blind spot—vendor onboarding and management. This session will expose how treasury’s disengagement from this process creates organizational risk, fosters inefficiencies, and weakens financial controls.  Attendees will explore how an organization’s culture around vendor management can either mitigate or accelerate fraud risks, impact payment strategies, and influence financial resilience. We’ll discuss real-world fraud cases, the hidden costs of poor onboarding practices, and actionable steps to drive cultural change within treasury and finance teams.
