Accounts payable (AP) for businesses refers to the systematic management of all outgoing payments a company owes to its suppliers, vendors, and service providers. It involves handling invoices, verifying purchase details, obtaining approvals, and ensuring timely payments. An efficient AP process is critical for maintaining accurate financial records, controlling expenses, and preserving strong vendor relationships.
