The accounts payable department is responsible for processing invoices and ensuring that payments are made in a timely and accurate manner. They are not responsible for ensuring that the party requesting the goods has received them. This is the responsibility of the purchasing or receiving department. The accounts payable department is responsible for verifying the purchase order, comparing the invoice price to the purchase order price, ensuring the purchase had been properly authorized and comparing the quantity ordered to the quantity purchased.
