IAPP Launches Professional Standards for Accounts Payable
International Accounts Payable Professionals' New Standards Framework is First for AP Profession
Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 -- International Accounts Payable Professionals (IAPP) has announced the historic release of its new Professional Standards Framework for accounts payable. The guidance outlined in the framework represent the first time an official set of professional standards has been developed for the accounts payable profession. The new professional guidance section of IAPP's Web site, http://www.theiapp.org/guidance, includes the entire framework - including the official Definition of Accounts Payable, the Code of Ethics, the Glossary of Terms, and the Standards. By providing authoritative guidance, IAPP sets the bar for accounts payable efficiency, effectiveness, and professionalism and provides clear direction to AP directors, CFOs and controllers as to the core components of a well run accounts payable operation. The Standards are being released at a time when accounts payable has become a key priority for many corporate CFOs and controllers as they seek to improve cash flow and improve efficiencies.
To maintain its integrity and standards of excellence, IAPP released the professional standards to ensure that IAPP:
a) Provides the foundational framework to support our creed of "members helping members."
b) Provides and supports the educational opportunities to enhance the knowledge, professional competency, and career opportunities of our members.
c) Establishes standards of the accounts payable profession.
d) Fosters process improvements and best practice information sharing.
e) Establishes an accounts payable and vendor code of conduct.
In the coming months, IAPP will be releasing additional practice advisories to complement the Professional Standards Framework.
