Accounts payable questions
Does payment preparation include releasing money?
No automatic transfer of authority is implied. Confirm payment preparation and release separately; your authorized approver retains control of payments.
Can we keep our existing approval process?
Discuss approval levels, supporting documents, exceptions and the software used. Scope the support around the process you approve.
What information helps you scope accounts payable?
Share invoice volume and sources, entities, accounting platform, supplier statement availability and how invoices are approved and paid.
Who approves supplier bank-detail changes?
Your designated authorized staff must own approval of supplier details and payment instructions. Define the verification and escalation process in the engagement.
