When the amount in words and amount in figures does not match. 5. When there is suspicion of fraud. 6. When the Bank is unable to verify authority to pay.
It means the cheque has not been signed with a signature that matches that which the bank holds for the account.
Accounts payable is the liability (debt) account a company uses to show the total amount they owe to outside vendors that will be paid off in 12 months or LESS (Edit: but see below).For example, if a company buys a computer for $3,000 on account and will be paying the computer off in 12 months or less, the transaction is recorded as an Account Payable.*remember, this is for accounts that will be paid off in 12 months or less, anything longer, such as 13 months must be recorded as a Note Payable, but only if the company owing the money has signed a written promissory note promising to pay. If there is no Note evidencing a debt, there is no basis for recording a Note Payable (edit 8/29/2012)Also edited 8/29/12 to add:Ordinarily, vendor bills for all non-compensation or non-tax amounts owed for expenses incurred, or inventory or materials acquired, in the ordinary course of business are posted to Accounts Payable until they are paid off, because the presumption is that ordinary trade expense bills will all be paid within the accounting cycle, unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, in which the debt can be shown as a non-current payable.When a bill sitting in Accounts Payable is finally paid, the Accounts Payable account is debited to show the decrease in the company's liabilities (debts).Some amounts that a business can owe are not posted to Accounts Receivable. Certain big items, such as payroll and taxes due, get their own liability accounts, Wages Payable and Taxes Payable. The same is true for loan repayments due to a bank. But these are large and important items, and it's better bookkeeping to separate them from the Accounts Payable account. (end of edit)In other words...Accounts payable is money that a business owes.
