About the Book

Internal controls are a framework of policies, procedures, analysis and strategies put in place by an organization to prevent fraud, ensure the veracity and reliability of financial and accounting information and to protect the organization's financial assets including - but not limited to - its cash flow.

When it comes to accounts payable, not only do strong internal controls help prevent improper and duplicate payments, they tend to lead to a more efficient procure-to-pay process. Controls are all in the details and this book walks professionals through the discrete tasks comprising and impacting the payment function.

Internal controls in your accounts payable function really do matter. Ignoring them could cost you in ways you never imagined.
