User Group Helps Create Best-in-Class Accounts Payable Teams
FISCAL Technologies’ Annual User Group Provides Forum for Accounts Payable Best-in-Class Practice

Reading, UK – 14 November 2010:   FISCAL Technologies, provider of world-class accounts payable audit software, held its popular Annual User Group Conference in Reading last month.
FISCAL, is passionate about supporting their Accounts Payable customers to be more productive and cost efficient.  This year the conference attracted a significant increase in the number of delegates than 2009, focusing on putting strategies in place to create Best-in-Class AP, with practical ways to improve AP processes and AP benchmarking and metrics to measure these improvements and controls. 

FISCAL had excellent feedback from all delegates, who were Senior Accounts Payable Managers from both the Public and Corporate Sectors.  The mix of information was second to none and a rare opportunity for them to network, be inspired, share ideas and learn new practices within a relaxed and friendly environment. 

Schneider-Electric Ltd said, “A very well presented and thoroughly enjoyable couple of days, sharing experiences with other AP Managers and learning more about FISCAL’s AP Forensics® suite.”  With Halton County Council adding "This is the first User group meeting that I have ever attended, and I found it to be most useful and informative as well as good fun!" 

Two customers and advocates of AP Forensics® gave brilliant presentations; The Financial Service Manager from, East Kent NHS Finance Consortium, gave advice on “Doing More with Less, with increased Accuracy and Speed in AP”, whilst The Accounts Manager, for Bracknell Forest Borough Council, gave valuable ideas on “Practical ways to Improve your Accounts Payable Processes”.    Our guest speaker, Ellen Leith, Accounts Payable News® provided further insights on AP Trends in the UK which were received with much interest.

Esther Porter-Quinn, FISCAL’s Head of Communications said, “Every year our User Group Conference is more successful in providing a valuable and inspirational experience to our customers.  This year we have had an excellent mix of keynotes, interactive workshops and learning labs across the two days to ensure that our customers are Best-in-Class AP.  We’ve received fantastic feedback and will build on this for 2011.  Thus ensuring FISCAL’s centric role as thought leaders within the AP profession.”
