Shared Services Accounts Payable

The primary responsibility of Accounts Payable (“A/P”) is the payment of the College's expenses. To accomplish its established mission within the guidelines of the College's and applicable federal government's guidelines, A/P reviews all invoices from external vendors as well as internal payments to students, faculty and staff. It is the responsibility of A/P to ensure that each expenditure that is paid by the College is represented by an authorized source document (traditionally an invoice or purchase order), has a proper account number, and is paid in a timely manner upon receipt in the office.

A/P may at times need the assistance of the department incurring an expense to assist in identifying the business reason or other necessary information if not clearly noted on the invoice by the vendor or the department. In these instances A/P will generally return the invoice to the department to clarify the outstanding issue. Per office policy, checks are issued each Thursday during a standard operating week. This schedule may be modified when necessary for business weeks containing a holiday or other events.
