Two manufacturing and industrial distribution leaders modernizing spend controls

Norberto Nunez AP Shared Services Leader, Applied Industrial Technologies

Anthony Livecchi Internal Audit Director, Koppers

AI already runs across your operations, from quality and maintenance to logistics and planning. Does your finance back office still runs on manual review? Despite the investment across operations, many finance teams are still keying invoices by hand and auditing a sample of expense reports after payment. 

Norberto Nunez put AI to work in AP at Applied Industrial Technologies. Anthony Livecchi did the same in internal audit at Koppers. Reviewing every transaction before payment is now practical, and people take the exceptions that need judgment.

In this live session, you will hear:

• What AP and audit looked like across their sites and service centers, and how each made the case for AI
• Where they decided people should stay in the loop, and how they set that line
• How they keep policy consistent when invoices and expenses arrive from every site, entity, and currency
• What they would tell a peer who is starting the same evaluation
