Course Description
The recordation and payment of accounts payable is a deeply inefficient process. Optimal Accounting for Payables shows how to enhance the basic process, as well as how to sidestep portions of it entirely. The result is a much more efficient and effective payables function. The accounting for payables course also notes the impact of these changes on closing the books, fraud, and the annual audit.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- State the reasons why a payables system needs to make prompt payments.
