Governance and controls were mapped to GAAP compliance and quarterly and annual audit cycles coordinated with Ernst and Young, with Serrala FinanceSuite Accounts Payable providing audit trails, documentation standards and control enforcement. The rollout emphasized process standardization, maintenance of IT systems by finance leadership, and workforce development aimed at continuous improvement and measurable AP process SLAs tied to discount capture and invoice cost metrics.
