The Accounts Payable Association (APA) has launched its annual Industry Benchmarking Survey, designed to assess the overall health of the Accounts Payable profession, identify emerging trends, and highlight potential risks facing AP functions.
Open to all Accounts Payable professionals across every sector, the survey aims to capture a comprehensive and accurate picture of the profession as a whole. Participation from a wide range of organisations and industries is essential to ensure the findings truly reflect the current state of Accounts Payable.
Insights gathered from the survey will directly inform the APA’s Annual Industry Benchmarking Report. This report will showcase best practices, key industry trends, and operational standards, helping to shape the future direction of the Accounts Payable profession.
The survey takes just 5–7 minutes to complete, yet provides valuable input that supports meaningful industry analysis and benchmarking.
Deadline for completion: 20 March
APA encourages all Accounts Payable professionals to take part and make their voice heard.
