Accounts Payable is NOT just “paying invoices” — in South Africa, it is a cash-flow control centre, a fraud risk area, and a big driver of supplier relationships and audit outcomes. When AP is weak, businesses feel it fast: late fees, supply disruptions, messy records, and compliance headaches.

This course equips SA businesses with practical AP controls: policies, workflows, payments discipline, KPI tracking, and accurate reporting — so you protect cash flow and strengthen supplier confidence.
