Accuracy is very important in Accounts Payable and accounting in general. If accuracy is not done in accounts payable, there could be several consequences. If you are not accurate on the amount due you may over pay a bill or under pay a bill. In the first senario one would be wasting usuable cash to the company if they overpaind a bill. If you under pay a bill, the company may receive a late fee or eventually not be given credit on account from the company in the future.
Also if your accounts payable is not correct your financial statements will be incorreect. Net income of the company may be higher or lower depending on if there is an overstatement or understatement of accounts payable.
