In this report we’ve gathered the most important accounts payable efficiency KPIs as well as real-life benchmark figures so that you can compare your AP process performance with your peers.

Why accounts payable KPIs matter
Accounts payable is so much more than processing supplier invoices and payments.
With the right tools and data in place businesses can leverage AP to detect and prevent fraud, identify anomalies to mitigate risk, actively manage cash flow positions and capture opportunities for bottom line savings.
In this report we give AP teams a piece of the puzzle. The AP process KPIs and benchmarks represent an excellent tool for businesses who want to improve their invoice to pay process. And as a result, regain control of spend and minimize risk.
The KPIs all AP teams should measure
The KPIs will be different depending on if you’re handling a PO (purchase order) based invoice or a non-PO (expense) invoice. Hence, it’s important to look at these processes separately.
In the report you’ll get a thorough walk-through of both processes – for each step we guide you through what happens, how to measure performance, and tactics to improve efficiency. Use the links below to discover the KPIs for each process.
