AP Month-End Close Checklist
The accounts payable subledger close, task by task: cutoff, accruals, reconciliations, tie-out, sign-off.
• Automate faster • Collaborate better
• Pay with confidence
Generic close checklists give AP one line: reconcile AP. This checklist is that line, expanded into the 24 tasks it actually contains.
Invoice cutoff, received-not-invoiced accruals, recurring-charge accruals, vendor statement reconciliations, clearing-account cleanup, subledger-to-GL tie-out, and a sign-off with evidence requirements. Five phases from Day -5 to Day +3, with an owner and a due day on every task.
