If you work in a very close knit industry, gossip is rampant. The sellers or the suppliers all know each other because they often service or compete with each other to get the attention of the buyer. In the service or trade industry there are buyers and sellers. When a buyer becomes notorious when sellers complain that they are not paid or when they are paid late. These buyers are either unscrupulous or have lousy accounts payable procedures.
Every good business should employ proper accounts payable procedures. An accountant should always be present to mind the books. Once a service is used or a product is bought, the company can pay the supplier right away. This is the ideal scenario. In the simplest terms this is how accounts payable procedures should be done.
