Overview

Accounts payable processing is an essential part of a company’s finance and accounting functions, ensuring that all financial obligations to suppliers and vendors are managed effectively. It involves the systematic tracking of all payments due, recording and processing invoices, and ensuring timely settlements of accounts. This function is key to maintaining good relationships with suppliers, ensuring business continuity, and safeguarding financial accuracy in an organisation’s books.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
