For efficient accounts paying, a proper system including appropriate software, appropriate suppliers, and approved invoices is needed besides making scheduled payments. To ensure the safety of the entire system, a test check must be run, and only then the final checks should be done. All of these are provided to you in a consolidated manner here at Ascendify Advisory.
➜ Selecting the software – A proper software package containing an accounts payable module with the ability to set up proper payment information to the correct suppliers, identify duplication of invoices, and one that could take advantage of early payment discounts as well as one that can make electronic payments.
➜ Setting up suppliers – Making and maintaining a default general ledger that shows each supplier’s name, addresses, payment terms, and expense accounts.
➜ Entering invoices – Details about the invoice like the invoice date and payable amount to be entered
➜ Approving invoices – A system in place to have managers individually approve of the suppliers mentioned in the ledger or provide negative approvals. The manager has to notify the payables staff that they do not approve of the payment. This system could be integrated with another system that tracks all the approvals made.
➜ Making Scheduled Payments – Print the invoice list to determine which bills are to be paid within the selected date range. This software comes in handy to make that list because, as mentioned before, all invoices would be maintained in a ledger.
➜ Testing a check run – All the approved payments are marked, and a batch of checks to pay for the invoices is invited. A properly working software should ensure that only those bills are paid are selected.
➜ The signing of checks – A person is usually designated to sign checks at a primary base, and another is appointed as well to be the backup check signer. Their duty would be to examine each of these checks before signing them off.
Besides these basic measures that are provided by our accounts payable system, additional accounts payable outsourcing services that will be at your disposal are:
➜ Make sure the supplier’s invoice and the company’s purchase orders are matched: This is usually done by a payables clerk whose main duty is to make sure that the company is paying for only those items that were properly authorized and received items.
➜ Maintaining an expense report for the company: This involves employees submitting a report on the items they purchased and other expenses made through the company and providing the respective invoices. The report will also include a set of travel policies for which any expenses made will be reimbursed.
➜ Setting up a system that issues procurement cards to the employees which allows them to make purchases on behalf of the company and the system will also review the cards, identify any error statements, and submit the fully reviewed statements so that payment staff can process them to make the proper payments.
➜ Setting up a system of checks that prevents excessive payment from being made by adding a selection of control options to the already existing payables system.
