Expedite your procurement transformation

Deloitte’s Coupa accelerators are rooted in our broad experience and process-driven methodology.

They can help expedite your implementation with:

• A vetted design that provides flexibility and scalability, developed with Deloitte’s interactive, agile “workshop” method for engaging stakeholders.

• A compressed implementation timeline by fast-tracking high-stakes decisions and reducing or eliminating the need for redesign/rework.

The result is an end-to-end solution that yields an effective technology deployment while incorporating relevant business processes, laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term procurement success.

How CFOs can take the lead on third-party risk management and governance

With today’s boards of directors and CEOs becoming increasingly concerned about risk management, their CFOs are being asked to step up to the plate and become more strategic on combating the issue. As a result, many CFOs with a high degree of digital maturity and data visibility are getting better outcomes, both with risk management and overall company performance.

During a recent CFO webcast sponsored by Deloitte and Coupa, leaders discussed how CFOs have already become more forward-looking and strategic, with the driver behind the change being risk management. CFOs are turning to technology, including cloud-based platforms, robotic process automation and visualization techniques, and working closer with their Chief Compliance Officer, to get a handle on risk issues.
