A Predictive Modeling Approach for Managing Accounts Payable Workflow Efficiency and Ledger Reconciliation Accuracy
Authors(3) :-Olawale Olasoji, Ebehiremen Faith Iziduh, Oluwatobi Opeyemi Adeyelu This paper presents a predictive modeling framework designed to enhance the efficiency of accounts payable workflows and improve the accuracy of ledger reconciliation processes. Recognizing the critical role of accounts payable in financial operations and the challenges posed by workflow inefficiencies and ledger discrepancies, the study explores how data-driven predictive analytics can transform traditional manual and rule-based systems. The framework integrates diverse transactional data and applies advanced machine learning techniques to forecast processing delays and detect potential reconciliation errors proactively. Emphasizing robust data quality and feature engineering, the approach ensures reliable predictive outcomes that support timely intervention and operational optimization. Furthermore, the paper addresses strategic considerations for embedding predictive models within existing ERP environments, managing risks such as model bias and compliance, and sustaining continuous improvement through iterative feedback loops. This research contributes a comprehensive conceptual foundation for leveraging predictive analytics to foster smarter, more resilient financial processes, offering significant practical value to finance professionals and organizations seeking to modernize their financial operations.
