Agenda Session

ReDesign Your Vendor Process to Avoid Fraud, Fines and Bad Vendor Data

May 11 2026

1:30 PM - 4:30 PM EST

Grand Caribbean 11

Many vendor teams know their processes have gaps that leave them vulnerable to fraud, fines, and inaccurate vendor data but struggle to know where to begin. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll walk step-by-step through five key Vendor Process Maps: Vendor Inquiries, New Vendor Setup, Existing Vendor Change, Confirmation of Change, and Vendor Data Review.

You’ll explore a wide range of authentication techniques, internal controls, best practices, and vendor validations to strengthen your vendor processes. Through guided discussion and real-time feedback, you’ll pinpoint which improvements are most relevant for your organization and incorporate them directly into your redesigned process maps. Each attendee will receive five editable Process Map templates and the 3-Step Vendor Setup & Maintenance Process eGuide to guide implementation after the workshop. You’ll leave with a fully updated, fraud-resistant Vendor Setup & Maintenance process customized for your organization.
