Why Procurement & Finance Lose Control Between Request & Payment shows how effective procurement teams keep a live view of every purchase from request through payment, so they're never caught off guard by a question they can't answer.

A requisition gets approved and a purchase order goes out, but somewhere between that approval and the final payment, visibility quietly disappears. Procurement moves on to the next request while Finance doesn’t find out what actually happened until weeks later, usually at month-end, and usually the hard way.

Disconnected systems and overnight syncs create that gap, letting budgets get overcommitted before anyone notices and invoices arrive with no clear record of what was promised. Audit prep turns into a weeks-long reconstruction project instead of a quick pull of the numbers.

Hosted by OpenGov, presenters walk through exactly where control gets lost between request and payment, and what it looks like when procurement and finance work off the same live record instead of reconciling after the fact.

Learning Objectives:

• Why losing sight of a PO after issuance creates risk for procurement
• How to keep visibility into a purchase all the way to payment
• What it takes to stop being the last to know when something's off
