Knowledge required in a job profile with Accounts payable department

[samkapoor77]

I have seen many companies having separate accounts payable department. Does it require sound accounting knowledge?

[samkapoor77]

Employees in accounts payable department are responsible for processing and coding invoices, credit notes and receipts; drafting budgets; reporting on income and expenditure; following up outstanding payments; verifying bank transactions; preparing ledgers; trial balance and financial statements. All these tasks definitely require accounting knowledge. At least an average level knowledge is required to work in this department.
