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 course also notes the impact of these changes on closing the books, fraud, and the annual audit.
