How do you protect payroll and billing from fraud?
Payroll and billing are protected by strict access and approval controls, verification of any bank detail changes, secure integrations with banks and HR systems, testing of payroll and billing applications, and monitoring for unusual payments. Many frauds start with business email compromise, so email security matters too.
