Accounts Payable: Accounting & Management Best Practices

Overview

This program aims to cover the management of the accounts payable function and ensure that adequate processes and controls are in place to guarantee that only valid and accurate costs are paid. It also covers the department's daily controls, the interface with the organisation's operational, procurement, and finance departments, and cost reporting to relevant managers. The department's management as well as the requirements for accounting and auditing are covered in the course. In addition to other management responsibilities, such as maintaining the confidentiality of the information and providing pertinent reporting, managing an accounts payable and payroll department requires additional skills.
