Routine and repetitive processes such as preparation of Account Receivable confirmations, Account Payable confirmations, bank confirmations, preparation of AGM documents, roll-forward procedures, sending of email reminders, tracking of key deadlines, timesheet management, report generation and audit client billing can be automated easily using RPA.
