ESSENTIALS OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Full of valuable tips, techniques, illustrative real-world
examples, exhibits, and best practices, this handy and concise
paperback will help you stay up to date on the newest thinking,
strategies, developments, and technologies in accounts
payable.

"A real-world approach, with great insights and practical wisdom on
all aspects of the accounts payable process. Essentials of Accounts
Payable provides accounts payable professionals with a framework
for action in a rapidly changing environment."

-Tom Nichols, Division Manager, Accounts Payable Operations,
AT&T

"Mary Schaeffer has combined her considerable knowledge of the
accounts payable process with the learning and benchmark statistics
from top companies to produce a world-class guide to the AP
process. Without Mary Schaeffer, and IOMA, AP would still be a
neglected financial process without any formal reading to explain
the complexities of a process that most companies think is simply
paying the bills. This book is a must-read for anyone working in,
directing, or managing AP operations, both seasoned professionals
and those new to the process."

-Linda Sawyer Sisko, Programs Manager, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"This book does an excellent job of explaining the often
complicated basics of the accounts payable functions. It provides a
quick snapshot for busy executives who need to know how an accounts
payable department should run. It is an excellent update for those
executives who need to keep up to date on numerous issues that
affect this rapidly evolving profession."

-Adrienne Glasgow, Chief Financial Officer, American Red Cross in
Greater New York
