Course Description
Organizations often deal with a continuous flood of supplier invoices and check requests from employees. There are demands to issue payments as expeditiously as possible, despite an offsetting need to investigate each request to ensure that it is valid. Payables Management describes a number of ways to create an efficient payables system that processes invoices at low cost, while still maintaining close control over the payments made. The course also covers an array of related topics, including procurement cards, use taxes, closing the books, payables controls, unclaimed property, and more.
You can find the answers to many questions about payables in the following chapters, including:
- Which alternatives are available for processing invoices?
- How can I make the review of expense reports more efficient?
- What process flow is needed to generate a use tax liability?
- How can I calculate the interest rate associated with an early payment discount?
- How can I minimize the amount of property that must be reported as unclaimed?
- What are some of the targets of a cost recovery effort?
Payables Management is designed primarily for professionals, who can use it as a reference tool for developing payables systems and researching the correct accounting to deal with various transactions. Given its complete coverage of these topics, Payables Management should earn a permanent place on your bookshelf.
