How to use it

Three steps

  1. Download the PDF (email-gated, free) and open it alongside the process or agreement you already have.
  2. Read the sections in order (it opens with "Accounts Payable SOP"); adapt the wording to your systems and jurisdiction, and mark anything your counsel or compliance officer must confirm.
  3. Share the adapted version with whoever will use it and revisit it after the first month — most teams trim it once the habit sticks.
