Transparent is the specialist in the area of Accounts Payable audits, foreign VAT Recovery, Data Enrichment and Spend Analysis.
Company mergers, administration software renewal, employee turnover or setting up a Shared Service Centre are regular developments for our customers. These changes within the organisation can lead to unclear invoicing and suppliers’ summaries, or to undue payments. Despite the available administration software, procedures, and internal and accountancy checks, our experience shows that 0.2% to 5% of total purchases is paid out to suppliers erroneously. Transparent specialists track down and recover these over-payments, by performing an Accounts Payable analysis, on a No-cure No-pay basis.
Transparent contributes to the security of the Accounts Payable process. Possible weaknesses in the accounting system and procedures are revealed. Independent and in depth reports provide the transparency necessary.
Transparent has offices in Belgium and The Netherlands, and is active throughout Europe.

A recognised leader in both IT and BPO, HP provides strategic outsourcing services that have helped transform the business processes of numerous Fortune 100 companies. HP's own business transformation journey began in the early 1990s, when the company set the strategic goal of reducing operating costs by 30% in three years. HP embarked on an initiative to consolidate its business processes and move them to offshore service centres situated in strategic locations throughout the world. This initiative enabled the company to achieve its cost reduction goals, as well as improve service levels, well within the allotted time. More importantly, consolidation provided a springboard for further process improvement through the use of technology.
Today, HP is recognised for its own successful business transformation journey and is viewed as a thought leader in shared services and outsourcing, having developed a standardised, certified, and commercialised operating model for the delivery of world class, technology-enabled BPO services from its network of centres across the globe. As a result, HP is uniquely positioned to help companies navigate through strategic and operational obstacles to build world-class business processes. Further recognition of HP as a Tier 1 Global Multi-tower BPO Provider is exampled by its 2nd place ranking in the Black Book of Outsourcing's 2007 Top 10 Global FAO Vendors list.
