Disbursement controls are the policies, verification steps, and approval processes an organization uses to confirm a payment is going to the right vendor, at the right bank account, for a legitimate reason, before funds are released. They typically include vendor identity verification, bank account validation, sanctions and OFAC screening, and approval workflows for changes to vendor payment details. DisbursementControls.com, operated by Financial Operations Networks (FON), publishes guidance and templates for building these controls.

DisbursementControls.com helps finance and AP teams prevent payment fraud by publishing guidance on verifying vendor identity, authenticating banking details, and screening for OFAC and Know Your Business (KYB) requirements before a payment is approved. It also covers common fraud schemes, including business email compromise, vendor impersonation, ghost vendors, and payment redirection, so teams can recognize warning signs at vendor onboarding and during banking detail changes.
