Procurement Leaders: Your Role in ACH Fraud Prevention What Nacha’s 2026 Rule Means for You
2025-08-20 14:00 - 14:30
The 2026 Nacha Rule change means vendor onboarding is no longer just a task to check off your to-do list; it’s now the key to your fraud mitigation and Nacha compliance process. As Originators of ACH transactions, organizations must implement risk-based fraud detection procedures, and procurement and finance, working together, are the front line.
This 30-minute live event will decode what the new Rule means for procurement teams, why supplier payments can no longer be “owned” solely by AP, and how procurement must collaborate with finance to establish verifiable, risk-based vendor processes. You’ll also learn how procurement-led technology and process changes can support pre-transaction fraud detection, safeguard payments, and drive policy alignment.
Why Attend:

Understand the Rule and its implications for your existing procurement processes and workflows.
Get aligned with finance before the deadline—discover how to collaborate across functions to build compliant, auditable procedures that satisfy the Nacha Rule.
Protect supplier trust and institutional reputation by equipping your team to prevent fraud-related disruptions that damage supplier relationships and public confidence.
