Accounts Payable

Accounts payable means the amounts a business owes to suppliers or vendors for goods and services received but not yet paid for. It is recorded as a current liability on the balance sheet because it represents a short-term obligation. Proper management of accounts payable is important for maintaining supplier relationships, avoiding late fees, and balancing cash flow.
