This second episode in the series shows how change is possible when there is a strong business case but to do this it is important to join up people across different functions like Treasury, Finance, Procurement, Sourcing and Accounts Payable. These different functions experience pain and benefits to different degrees, which affects their willingness to embrace - or resistance to - change. Who owns the buying process and/or the payments in the business? Everyone and no one? Some issues that Vincent will cover include the Supplier’s perspective from the Order to Cash process, what is the real cost of a Purchase Order as well as the need to group transactions into high, low or no touch processes.    Introduction to HSBC Visa Podcasts:HSBC and Visa are launching a one-off podcast series, hosted by financial expert Vincent Eavis. The aim of the series is to look deeper into the Requisition to Pay process and make the case for card payments, but in a way that is accessible and engaging for those who don’t necessarily have an in-depth understanding of some of the processes involved. Vincent will be joined in these podcasts by guests including David Kitchener from Wessex Water, Joanne Towers, Managing Director, Europe Regional Head of Payments and Cards, Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC and Duncan Kennett, Head of B2B at Visa Europe. For more information about anything that you have heard in this podcast, please click here Hosted on Acast.
