Farhana Izyani Binti Muhamad Fuad

I am an experienced Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) professional with over ten years of experience supporting multinational organizations across shared services, oil & gas, energy, retail, and logistics industries. My expertise spans end-to-end AP operations, GRIR management, vendor reconciliations, system migrations, and regional finance support, primarily within SAP-driven environments.

Currently, I work as a GRIR Lead at BP Business Services Centre Asia, supporting Retail New Zealand and Corporate ANZ. In this role, I prepare daily Open GR reports, perform monthly reconciliations for critical vendors, and manage GR clearing activities using SAP, Ariba, ESO, and LSE. I work closely with Accounts Payable teams in India and Supply Chain teams in New Zealand to investigate aged GR items over 90 days, resolve discrepancies, and ensure compliance with internal controls. I also prepare quarterly submissions for non-critical vendors and maintain accurate monthly reporting to support audits and management reviews.

Previously, I served as an Accounts Payable Specialist with Santos Ltd (Pikka Project), where I managed contractor payments for the Seawater Treatment Plant. My responsibilities included invoice validation, approval follow-ups, supplier statement reconciliations, cash flow forecasting, vendor setup support, and preparation of monthly AP performance reports. This role strengthened my ability to manage high-value vendor accounts while meeting strict KPIs and payment timelines.

A significant part of my career was spent Al Futtaim Group as a Senior Associate PTP, supporting Singapore and Malaysia operations. In this role, I handled invoice posting and matching, supplier and balance sheet reconciliations, GRIR clearing for key brands such as Marks & Spencer, and monthly KPI reporting. I played an active role in SAP UAT testing, GRIR mapping from Profit V7 to SAP, and system migration initiatives. I also supported vendor master data management, coordinated with logistics teams to resolve discrepancies, worked closely with external auditors, and led scanning solution and process improvement projects.

Earlier in my career, I built a strong foundation in Accounts Payable and general accounting through roles at Accenture Solutions and Baker Hughes, where I processed APAC invoices, prepared accruals, managed parked and escalation reports, handled supplier and in-country queries, and supported offshore knowledge transfer to India. My early exposure to Accounts Receivable at DKSH and CMA CGM further strengthened my understanding of end-to-end finance processes, including bank reconciliations, receipt allocation, dispute handling, and month-end activities.

I am detail-oriented, process-driven, and proactive, with strong stakeholder management skills and extensive experience in SAP, Ariba, Concur, and P2P systems. I consistently deliver accurate, compliant, and timely AP outcomes while contributing to continuous improvement in global finance operations.
