In partnership with our sponsor Tipalti, our latest automation trends research sought to uncover the current state of automation in Accounts Payable teams worldwide.

The research was conducted over a 2-month period from October to November 2021 with IFOL members and students.

We have been able to draw comparisons between our latest survey results and those from 2019 when we last explored AP automation, pre-pandemic.

This report covers:

• The current state of automation, with a comparison to 2019 data
• The top processing challenges for AP teams, and the main issues these cause
• The projected switch to fully-automated processes.
