Process Definitions and Functions
• The accounts payable/cash disbursements (AP/CD) process is an interacting structure of people, equipment, methods, and controls that is designed to accomplish the following primary functions:
1. Handle the repetitive work routines of the accounts payable department and the cashier.
2. Support the decision needs of those who manage the accounts payable department and cashier.
3. Assist in the preparation of internal and external reports.

Processing Non-Invoiced Disbursements
• In some cases disbursements are not invoiced, e.g., freight bills, rent, payroll.
• The handling of non-invoiced disbursements depends on whether or not a voucher system is used.
• A voucher system prepares a voucher for every expenditure from payroll to purchases of raw materials.

Logical Data Descriptions for the AP/CD Process
• Accounts payable master data. This data store is a repository of all unpaid vendor invoices.
– The data design should consider how the data will be processed when the cash manager is deciding what payments to make.
– The manager may want to merge vendor invoices so that the total amount due each vendor can be accumulated.
– Alternatively, the manager might want to select specific invoices for payment.
• Cash disbursements data. The purpose of this data is to show, in chronological sequence, the details of each cash payment made.
– Each record in this data normally shows the date the payment is recorded, vendor identification, disbursement voucher number (if a voucher process is used), vendor invoice number and gross invoice amount, cash discount taken on each invoice, net invoice amount, check amount, and check number.

Technology Trends and Developments
• E-invoicing - the processing of invoices in electronic form – Scan documents– Use purchasing cards (p-cards)
– Invoices can be submitted electronically
• E-payments - the electronic submission of payments– EDI and XML-based technologies – Settled through the ACH network, wire transfer
or credit card

21
Purchase Returns and Allowances• Sometimes defective goods are returned or an
allowance is made for non-conforming items.
• This exception routine usually begins at the point of inspecting and counting the goods or at the point of validating vendor invoices.
• Purchaser transmits a debit memo to the vendor requesting the account adjustment.
• Vendor responds with a credit memo indicating the authorized account adjustment.

22
AP/CD Fraud
• AP fraud usually involve fictitious vendors and false invoices– A dishonest employee
with access to the vendor file authorizes fictitious payment
– May embezzle amounts refunded by vendors
– Human error is still a leading cause of loss
• CD fraud is less sophisticated – Usually involves check
fraud
– Takes many forms from stealing and passing stolen checks to changing amounts on legitimate checks or check forgery
– Easier and more common with computer duplication technology

23
Exposure to Loss and Destruction of Resources
• Resource losses due to unintentional mistakes and inadvertent errors are as costly as, or more costly, than those caused by intentional acts of fraud.
• Examples include:
– Making payments for incorrect amounts
– Paying the wrong vendor
– Paying the same invoice twice
