It is the job of some people to prepare the company’s financial statements. However the statements are done, the books have to be prepared first. There will be a need to do journalizing, the balance sheets and bookkeeping. You need to classify what you would place under debit and credit. You also need to decide what to place under accounts payable and accounts receivables. Accounts payable classification is needed so that a new accountant knows immediately what should be under accounts payable.
Accounts payable classification should be done as early as possible. It is much easier on the part of the accountant if she knows which fall under the accounts payable. This way there will be lesser mistakes. I remember when I was first doing accounting I would sometimes mix up my accounts payable and my accounts receivable.
