ABSTRACT

The adoption of cloud computing has significantly transformed the landscape of revenue cycle management by improving efficiency, enhancing data accessibility, and strengthening financial controls. This study explores the impact of cloud-based solutions on key revenue cycle controls, including billing accuracy, compliance, fraud prevention, and financial reporting. The findings reveal that cloud computing provides real-time data synchronization, advanced analytics, and automated workflows, leading to reduced errors and improved decision-making processes. Additionally, the scalability and flexibility of cloud platforms enable organizations to adapt quickly to regulatory changes and optimize revenue processes. However, the study also highlights potential challenges, such as data security risks and the need for proper implementation strategies to ensure successful integration. Overall, cloud computing emerges as a critical enabler for enhancing revenue cycle controls and achieving operational excellence in modern business environments.
