Overview

Need to know how to Allocate and Manage Business Expenses? Why this is vital to add Value for Efficient Business Workflow? How to streamline Management Reports?

Accounts payable and its management is a critical business process through which an entity manages its payable obligations effectively.

The accounts payable process or function is immensely important since it involves nearly all of a business’s payments outside of payroll, regardless of size.

The object of accounts payable is to pay only business expenses, and invoices that are legitimate and accurate.

It also enables business entities to manage better cash flows i.e. making payments only when due, using the credit facility provided by vendors, etc.

Additionally, a bookkeeping and accounting system needs good accounts payable internal controls in order to minimize the risk of fraud, error and loss.

The purpose of accounts payable internal controls is to ensure that valid supplier and vendor invoices are properly recorded and promptly paid by the business.
