Accounts payable are short term debts that a business owes to creditors for products and services

Accounts payable (also known as "Payables" or AP) reflects debts by a company that have yet to be paid. This may include pending purchase orders, unpaid bills, or services rendered by an outside contractor on which payment is, for some reason, pending.

While accounts payable are listed as a liability on the balance sheet they do not actually affect cash flow as the money has yet to change hands. When accounts payable are paid off, it represents a negative Cash flow for the company. When companies are unable to meet their accounts payable obligations, they are considered to be in default.

Examples

Examples of accounts payables are

  • Unpaid invoices
  • Bills
  • Statements for goods or services rendered by outside contractors, vendors or suppliers
