CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
A bill payable is a document which shows the amount owed for goods or services received on
credit. Examples of a bill payable include a monthly telephone bill, electricity bill, a bill for
repairs or maintenance, the bill for merchandise purchased by a retailer on credit, etc.
Bills Payable (B/P) is a liability document which shows the indebtedness of an individual, an
organization, etc. When an individual or an organization makes a credit purchase of any goods or
avails service. Generally, in a transaction of sale and purchase of goods, during the credit term,
sellers of goods need money. So, it will draw a bill to purchaser of goods. Purchaser of goods
will accept the bill and returns to seller of goods. This becomes Bills Receivable for drawer of
bill / seller of goods and Bills Payable for drawee of bill / purchaser of goods.
Bills payable can be the funds that a bank borrows from other banks. These are typically due in
the very short term and are used to provide liquidity to the receiving bank.
Bills payable can be short-term notes issued by a business that are due on demand or by a
specific date. The duration of these forms of indebtedness tend to be quite short.
Bills payable can be the same as accounts payable, which are usually comprised of invoices from
suppliers that are received and recorded by a business within the current liabilities section of the
balance sheet. These liabilities may be recorded as accrued liabilities, if a liability is present as of
the end of a reporting period, but no invoice from a supplier has yet been received.
Bills payable is an older term, and is more commonly found in the English system of accounting
than the American system. Depending upon usage, bills payable is also known as accounts
payable, trade payables, and notes payable. Bills payable can be a synonym of accounts payable,
or it can refer specifically to short-term borrowing by banks from other banks, often the country's
central bank. Also known as a B/P book, bills payable book is a subsidiary or secondary book of
accounting where all bills of exchange, which are payable by the business, are recorded. The
2
total value of all the bills payable for an accounting period is transferred to the books of
accounts.
In a mid to large sized business where the number of bills exchanging hands is large in number,
it is tough to journalize all bills drawn. All such bills are entered in an accounting ERP or a
register depending on the business, furthermore, all these entries are transferred to the respective
ledger accounts at a regular interval, often monthly.
A bill receivable for a “drawer” is a bill payable for a “drawee”. Bills payable account will
usually have a credit balance, as it is supposed to be paid at maturity; it acts as a liability for the
business. Generally, every bill has a 3-day grace period.
On the balance sheet, current liabilities are typically presented as follows: the principal portion
of notes payable due within one year, accounts payable, and then other current liabilities, such as
income taxes payable, interest payable.
Bills PayableIn the context of personal finance and small business accounting, bills payable are
liabilities such as utility bills. They are recorded as accounts payable and listed as current
liabilities on a balance sheet.
In the context of banking, bills payable refers to a bank's indebtedness to other banks, usually
a Federal Reserve Bank these loans are backed by collateral consisting of the bank's promissory
note and a pledge of government securities. In other words, bills payable is the money a bank
borrows, mainly on a short-term basis, and owes to other banks. Banks borrow this money in
order to maintain adequate liquidity levels.
A bill payable is a document which shows the amount owed for goods or services received on
credit. Examples of a bill payable include a monthly telephone bill, electricity bill, a bill for
repairs or maintenance, the bill for merchandise purchased by a retailer on credit, etc. The
provider of the goods or services is referred to as the supplier or vendor. Hence, the bill payable
is also known as an unpaid vendor invoice.
Under the accrual method of accounting or bookkeeping, a bill payable or unpaid vendor invoice
is recorded in Accounts Payable with a credit entry. When the bill is paid, Accounts Payable will
3
be reduced with a debit entry. The credit balance in Accounts Payable is reported on the
company's balance sheet as a current liability.
How a company manages its bills payable processing affects two important business matters:
cash flow and supplier relationships. Companies that apply best practices manage bills payable
so that the process both contributes positively to cash flow and supports mutually beneficial
relationships with suppliers. Suppliers or vendors are the businesses from whom companies get
their inventory and other supplies. It is crucial that business operations maintain good
relationships with their suppliers. The single most important thing a company can do to maintain
good supplier relationships is to pay its bills on time
Accounts payable departments often do more than simply pay incoming bills and invoices. In a
larger business, accounts payable employees are often responsible only for the accounts payable
side of finance, while in a smaller business, accounts payable and accounts receivable
responsibilities are often combined. Although the size of a business ultimately determines the
roles accounts payable plays, most fulfill at least three basic functions in addition to paying bills
Vendor Payments
Processing incoming invoices and paying the business‟s suppliers is a function of accounts
payable that most people think of first. A/P organizes and maintains vendor contact information,
payment terms and Internal Revenue Service W-9 information either manually or using a
computer database. Internal controls determine whether the A/P process starts with a pre-
approved purchase order or whether accounts payable verifies purchases after a purchase is
made. Vendor payments also include the end-of-month aging analysis reports that tell business
owners and the management team how much the business currently owes vendors.
4
Internal Payments
Larger business or businesses in which the owner frequently travels may add travel management
and payment responsibilities to the accounts payable function. Travel management
responsibilities can include making advance airline, car rental and hotel reservations. If internal
controls allow for advance travel payments, accounts payable processes requests and distributes
funds to cover travel expenses. When the traveler returns, accounts payable would then be
responsible for settling funds distributed versus funds actually spent or for processing travel
reimbursement requests.
Other Functions
The accounts payable department also functions to reduce costs by paying attention to details
that can save the business money when, for example, an invoice gets paid within the discount
period that many vendors provide. A/P is many times a front-line contact between the business
and vendor representatives. As a result, building and maintaining good relationships often falls to
accounts payable employees. Strong relationships can benefit the business when it comes to
working with vendors. For example, during a seasonal dip in sales, a good relationship might
lead to relaxed credit terms.
5
Bills Payable duties and responsibilities:
As a vital team member of the finance team, it‟s important that an Accounts Payable
job description includes:
The role of the Accounts Payable involves providing financial, administrative and clerical
support to the organization. Their role is to complete payments and control expenses by
receiving payments, plus processing, verifying and reconciling invoices.
➢ When the accounting staff prepares check runs, they should have the invoice backup
ready and invoices approved by the appropriate department heads before coming to
you for signatures.
➢ Make Accounts Payable aware of any cash disbursement ceilings for each check run
so they can then select the most important invoices to pay.
6
➢ Empower your staff with decisions that will make your life easier and are not dangerous
for them to make. The decision to make partial payments on larger balances, or delaying
payments to vendors who have a higher tolerance on due dates are a couple of
examples.
2. Use Technology
➢ Analyze and reduce errors such as paying incorrect amounts, incorrectly entering
check numbers used to pay vendors, and paying too early or too late.
➢ Make sure your accounts payable module is set up correctly so that transactions flow
properly. You may need to use a consultant to make sure your accounting software
and accounts payable module are correctly configured, or you could cause more
problems than you solve..
➢ Run aging reports so you know what is in the pipeline. You may have a small check run
this period, but could have a large one coming up that you didn‟t know about until
looking at these reports.
➢ Use laser printed checks, which will update the system automatically, marking which
invoices have been paid and with what check numbers.
➢ Anywhere cash/checks are handled (incoming or outgoing) can be a high-risk area for
company fraud.
➢ In Accounts Payable, this is often accomplished by setting up a “dummy vendor”.
Often times, this vendor is a company owned by a dishonest employee. Invoices for
services never provided are created, and your business pays these invoices, essentially
paying the employee.
➢ Implement policies & procedures to mitigate the risk. In the above example, have system
parameters set so that the person cutting checks does not have the ability to set up new
vendors. Each new vendor that is set up should require explanation to the owner prior to
creating them.
➢ Separation of duties, proper approval by department heads, and spot checks will
help reduce the risk of fraud.
7
4. Vendor Terms May Be Negotiable
➢ Regardless of the terms given, you can call your vendors and negotiate terms for
your own company.
➢ Vendors will often give discounts or special terms to customers that purchase
large volumes and on a regular basis.
➢ Even if the normal terms can‟t be changed, if you run into an issue and must pay late,
it‟s best to call and discuss it with your vendor rather than avoiding them.
➢ Typically the CFO signs checks but should not be assembling the check run.
➢ Accounts Payable should run the aging, choose which invoices to pay, assemble the
invoices, print the checks, and verify that all invoices are approved before bringing them
to the CFO.
➢ CFO simply checks the invoice amounts against the check before signing.
➢ If your company manages cash more actively, let Accounts Payable know up front
what their “budget” is. They will know best what vendors can wait until the next check
run.
Regardless of the company's size, the mission of accounts payable is to pay only the company's
bills and invoices that are legitimate and accurate. This means that before a vendor's invoice is
entered into the accounting records and scheduled for payment, the invoice must reflect:
8
To safeguard a company's cash and other assets, the accounts payable process should have
internal controls. A few reasons for internal controls are to:
Periodically companies should seek professional assistance to improve its internal controls.The
accounts payable process must also be efficient and accurate in order for the company's financial
statements to be accurate and complete. Because of double-entry accounting an omission of a
vendor invoice will actually cause two accounts to report incorrect amounts. For example, if a
repair expense is not recorded in a timely manner:
If the vendor invoice for a repair is recorded twice, there will be two problems as well:
In other words, without the accounts payable process being up-to-date and well run, the
company's management and other users of the financial statements will be receiving inaccurate
feedback on the company's performance and financial position.A poorly run accounts payable
process can also mean missing a discount for paying some bills early. If vendor invoices are
not paid when they become due, supplier relationships could be strained. This may lead to
some vendors demanding cash on delivery. If that were to occur it could have extreme
consequences for a cash-strapped company.
Just as delays in paying bills can cause problems, so could paying bills too soon. If vendor
invoices are paid earlier than necessary, there may not be cash available to pay some other bills
by their due dates.

UNDER BILLS PAYABLES:
● SERVICE CONTRACTS
● CIVIL CONTRACTS
● PURCHASE ORDERS
● IMPRESSED MONEY
● NOTE SHEETS
Service contracts:
Service contracts are agreements for specific acts, such as painting your house or tuning your
car, and are distinguishable from contracts for goods. They're used predominantly by
contractors, freelancers, and consultants and, generally involve one party paying another party to
perform a certain act.
A business agreement between a contractor and customer covering the maintenance and
servicing of equipment over a specified period. A General Service Agreement, also referred to
as a contractor form, an independent contractor agreement, or a contractor agreement, is a
contract between a contractor who will provide services, and a property/business owner.
Any duty or labor performed for another person. The delivery of a legal document that
notifies the recipient of the commencement of a legal action or proceeding in which he or she
is involved. The term service has various meanings, depending upon the context of the word.
When service agreements cover products, the contract may cover repairs, replacement of parts,
replacement of the product, diagnosis of the product, upgrading of parts or software, dispatching
of a service representative to perform repairs, refunds and/or returns.
Civil Contract:
A construction contract may be defined as, an agreement between two parties such that it is
enforceable by the law and must be agreed. A formal agreement between a company and an
employee in a high position about their pay and conditions of employment (= rules under which
they are employed) an agreement between a company and a customer, stating that the company
will check and repairequipment for an agreed price during a fixed period of time
A contract of mandate consists in an agreement to perform certain work within a specified period
as commissioned by the principal, in return for fixed remuneration. In this framework, the
contractor undertakes to perform certain activities for the principal. A contract of mandate is
therefore a due diligence contract. The contracting parties in the contract determine the nature of
the activity, its scope, organizational framework and remuneration - the amount listed in the
contract is the gross remuneration
It is a branch of Civil Engineering involved with the maintenance, design and construction of
both natural and physically built environments such as roads, railways, buildings, water
reservoirs, subdivisions, airports, bridges, sewer systems, tunnels and dams.
An agreement between two parties such that it is enforceable by the law and must be agreed.
The negotiation between owner and contractor for the cost control.
Contractor: The term contractor comes from the legal agreement. There will be a legal agreement
between the owner and the builder. A contractor may be a builder but a builder may or may not
11
be a contractor.

Wage labour (also wage labor in American English) is the socioeconomic relationship between a
worker and an employer, where the worker sells their labor power under a formal or informal
employment contract. These transactions usually occur in a labour market where wages or
salaries are market-determined.
In exchange for the money paid as wages (usual for short-term work-contracts) or salaries (in
permanent employment contracts), the work product generally becomes the undifferentiated
property of the employer, except for special cases such as the vesting of intellectual property
patents in the United States where patent rights are usually vested in the employee personally
responsible for the invention. A wage labourer is a person whose primary means of income is
from the selling of their labour in this way.
"The relation between an employer and an isolated employee or worker is typically a relation
between a bearer of power and one who is not a bearer of power. In its inception it is an act of
submission, in its operation it is a condition of subordination, however much the submission and
the subordination may be concealed by the indispensable figment of the legal mind known as the
13
'contract of employment'. The main object of labour law has been, and will always be a
countervailing force to counteract the inequality of bargaining power which is inherent and
must be inherent in the employment relationship."
A written contract is a document that sets form the terms of employment. As explained above,
some written contracts are for at-will employment. Others limit the employer‟s right to fire. For
example, it‟s not unusual for high-level executives to be hired pursuant to a written contract that
obligates them to stay with the company for a set period of time (two or three years, for
instance) and obligates the company to retain the executive for the same period absent an action
specified in the contract as grounds for termination. Grounds might include misconduct by the
executive, such as committing a felony or engaging in financial malfeasance; they might also
include outside events, such as a sale of the company.
Wage labour involves the exchange of money for time spent at work
Oral Contracts
An oral contract is simply an agreement that is spoken rather than written down. For example, an
employer might call a successful applicant on the phone, offer her the job, and settle on a
starting date, salary, and schedule. Once the employee says, “that sounds great; I accept,” there
is an oral contract of employment.
Oral contracts are just as enforceable as written contracts, but much harder to prove. If there‟s
a dispute, it will be your word against the employer‟s.
Like a written contract, an oral contract might be for at-will employment or it might limit the
employer‟s right to fire. If, for example, an employer says, “I need a one-year commitment from
you; during that time, the company won‟t fire you as long as you make your numbers,” and the
employee agrees, the employee can hold the employer to that one-year commitment.
Implied Contracts
An implied contract is one that has not been reduced to a formal document or even stated
explicitly, but is instead implied from a combination of the employer‟s oral and written
14
statements and actions. Whether there‟s an implied contract typically comes up after an
employee has been fired. The employer argues that the employee was at will, and so can‟t sue
for breach of contract; the employee counters that the employer‟s actions and statements led the
employee to believe that the employee would be fired only for good cause, and were sufficient to
create a contract to that effect. Here are some of the factors courts consider in deciding whether
an implied employment contract was created
Whether the employer‟s policies limit its right to fire at will. For example, progressive
discipline policies that don‟t give the employer leeway to depart from the stated procedures,
policies providing that new employees become “permanent” after completing a probationary
period, policies promising regular promotions and raises if performance meets a certain
standard, and policies requiring good cause to fire might be used as evidence that the employer
had given up the right to fire at will.
The employee‟s tenure. A long-term employee who has received regular promotions, raises,
and positive performance evaluations has a better shot at making an implied contract claim than
a short-term employee.
The most common form of wage labour currently is ordinary direct, or "full-time". This is
employment in which a free worker sells their labour for an indeterminate time (from a few
years
15
to the entire career of the worker), in return for a money-wage or salary and a continuing
relationship with the employer which it does not in general offer contractors or other irregular
staff. However, wage labour takes many other forms, and explicit as opposed to implicit (i.e.
conditioned by local labour and tax law) contracts are not uncommon. Economic history shows a
great variety of ways, in which labour is traded and exchanged. The differences show up in the
form of:
Purchase Orders:
A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document and first official offer issued by a buyer to
a seller indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services.
A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document and first official offer issued by a buyer to a
seller indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. It is used to
control the purchasing of products and services from external suppliers. Purchase orders can be
an essential part of enterprise resource planning system orders.
Companies use purchase orders for several reasons. Purchase orders allow buyers to clearly and
explicitly communicate their intentions to sellers. They may also help a purchasing agent to
manage incoming orders and pending orders. Sellers are also protected by POs in case of a
buyer's refusal to pay for goods or services. Purchase orders provide benefits in that they
streamline the purchasing process to a standard procedure. Commercial lenders or financial
institutions may provide financial assistance on the basis of purchase orders
The purpose of purchase orders is to procure materials for direct consumption or for stock,
procure services, cover customer requirements using external resources, or procure a material
that is needed in plants from an internal source (Long distance intra-plant stock transfers). They
may also place once-only procurement transactions and optimize purchasing by taking full
advantage of negotiated conditions or for optimal utilization of existing transport capacities.[2]
16
Creating a purchase order is typically the first step of the purchase to pay process in an ERP
system. Purchase orders may require a SKU code. Within an ERP system, a purchase order
can be created manually, and may require confirmation or changes via editing. Within an ERP
system (such as in SAP), manually creating a purchase order within the system may look
something like "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchasing Order ->
Create" and providing a Transaction Code.
This document type will be chosen from the screen. A vendor code lookup may need to be
selected for a purchase order steps, as well as things like organization group and company code
the issue of a purchase order does not itself form a contract. If no prior contract exists, then it is
the acceptance of the order by the seller that forms a contract between the buyer and seller.
The purchase order will indicate a PO number, date prepared, company name, vendor name,
name and phone number of a contact person, a description of the items being purchased, the
quantity, unit prices, shipping method, date needed, and other pertinent information.
One copy of the purchase order will be used in the three-way match, which we will discuss later.
Imprest Money:
Imprest money. A sum of money paid, immediately upon their entering service, to men who have
been impressed. A fund used by a business for small items of expenditure and restored to a fixed
amount periodically. This petty cash is kept on the impresssystem a sum of money advanced to a
17
person for a particular purpose. An impress is a cash account that a business uses to pay for
small, routine expenses. A fixed balance is maintained in the account, and it is replenished
routinely to maintain that balance. Alternatively, an impress can refer to a monetary
advance given to a person for a specific purpose.
The most well-known type of impress is a petty cash account. Petty cash is used for transactions
for which it doesn't make sense to go through the hassle of writing a check. It is typically a set
amount of cash held on-site that a business can use to reimburse employees and pay for small
expenses. Petty cash funds are typically handled by a custodian, who monitors the account and
hands out cash to employees in exchange for business-related receipts.
Impress are also used for purposes such as employee payroll, dividends, employee travel and
bonuses. Once the expenses are paid, the fund is reimbursed by the company's primary bank
account. The benefit of impress is that it's harder to use their funds for unauthorized expenses
because they are set aside for specific purposes. They usually pay out the same amount of money
on a regular basis, which ideally brings the account close to a zero balance, and then they are
automatically replenished with that set amount. If there are discrepancies, it's not hard to
pinpoint what went wrong. It is an easy way to both closely monitor expenses and protect
against fraud.
The impress system was developed to track and document cash expenses and how they are used,
following a general process:
● A petty cash fund is established, with a set amount of cash. This is recorded in the
company's ledger.
● Any expenses paid through the petty cash fund must be documented with receipts.
● The fund is replenished regularly with disbursement receipts to maintain a fixed balance.
● The fund is monitored closely for any discrepancies between expected cash (based
on documentation) and actual cash. If any discrepancies exist, they are investigated.
18
Also, it is important to know and monitor the exact amounts paid through the imprest on a
regular basis so that replenishment amounts are sufficient.
Note Sheets:
A note, often called a promissory note, is a written promise to pay a specific amount of money at
a future date. In other words, a note is a loan contract between the maker and the payee. Some
notes are also payable on demand of the maker.
The maker of a note is the entity that creates and initiates the note to borrow money from the
payee. The payee of a note is the entity that loans the money to the maker and must be repaid.
Some people have a hard time remembering the difference between the maker and payee.
Just remember that the maker makes the note and borrows the money. The payee lends the
money and gets paid back in the future. Makers borrow and payees get paid back. Make
sense?
Notes can be used for a ton of different business transactions. Some companies use notes to help
finance expansions and others use then to purchase their annual inventory quantities. It‟s
basically just a loan, so it could be used to finance anything.
Method of payment:
The work done could be paid "in cash" (a money-wage) or "in kind" (through receiving
goods and/or services), or in the form of "piece rates" where the wage is directly dependent on
how much the worker produces. In some cases, the worker might be paid in the form of credit
used to buy goods and services, or in the form of stock options or shares in an enterprise.
Method of hiring:
The worker might engage in a labour-contract on their own initiative, or they might hire
out their labour as part of a group. But they may also hire out their labour via an intermediary
(such as an employment agency) to a third party. In this case, they is paid by the intermediary,
but works for a third party which pays the intermediary. In some cases, labour is subcontracted
several times, with several intermediaries. Another possibility is that the worker is assigned or
posted to a job by a political authority, or that an agency hires out a worker to an enterprise
19
together with means of production.
20
Performance-related pay or pay for performance, not to be confused with performance-related
pay rise, is a salary or wages paid system based on positioning the individual, or team, on their
pay band according to how well they perform. Car salesmen or production line workers, for
example, may be paid in this way, or through commission.
Many employers use this standards-based system for evaluating employees and for setting
salaries. Standards-based methods have been in de facto use for centuries among commission-
based sales staff: they receive a higher salary for selling more, and low performers do not earn
enough to make keeping the job worthwhile even if they manage to keep the job. In effect, the
salary would be re-evaluated up, or down, periodically (usually annually) based on the
performance of the individual or team. The reward is the salary: with an expectation to be high
on the pay band for high performance and low on the band for low performance.
In comparison, the performance-related pay rise system would see the reward given in the form
of a pay rise. The better the performance of the individual or team the larger the rise, likewise,
if the performance was poor the associated rise would be minimal, if any at all. The reward is
the pay rise: with an expectation of a high pay rise for high performance and a low or zero rises
for low performance.
Labour economics seeks to understand the functioning and dynamics of the markets for wage
labour.
Labour markets or job markets function through the interaction of workers and employers.
Labour economics looks at the suppliers of labour services (workers) and the demanders of
labour services (employers), and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of wages,
employment, and income.
If you sign an at-will agreement, a court will not allow you to argue that you actually had a
contradictory implied contract; the written agreement will be the final word on the subject. An
21
employment contract should clearly define all terms and conditions of the employment
relationship. The most common elements to any employment contract include the following:
● Terms of employment
● Employee responsibilities
● Employee benefits
● Employment absence
● Dispute resolution
● Nondisclosure agreements
● Ownership agreements
● Assignment clauses
● Employment opportunity limitations
● Grounds for termination
A wage may be defined as the sum of money paid under contract by an employer to worker
for services rendered Wages is the payment to labour for its assistance to production Wage
rate is the price paid for the use of labour A wage is price, it is the price paid by the employer
to the worker on account of labour performed.
This is probably the most common type of employment contract. Full-time permanent
employees are often the cornerstone of a business and many employers are incredibly reliant
upon this type of worker. This type of contract can be based upon the employee being hourly
paid or salaried and should set out the employees working hours, holiday entitlements, position
within the organization, and various other aspects of the employee‟s working arrangements.
A contract of this type can be simple or complicated depending upon the employee‟s
seniority. For instance, an employer may want to prevent a more senior employee from going
to work for competitors by adding restrictive covenants into the employment contract.
22
Alternatively, it may wish to ensure that the confidentiality requirements its senior
employees have to abide by are suitable and appropriate for their proximity to confidential
business information.
Normally, a part-time employment contract would contain much of the same information as the
contract of a full-time employee. In the part-time employment contract, employers need to have a
particular focus on the employee‟s working hours and pay. It is also important to ensure that the
holiday entitlement for part-time employees is clearly and accurately reflected in the contract and
meets the relevant statutory requirements. The law protects part-time workers from being treated
unfavorably on the basis that they are employed part-time. It is important to make sure that the
terms and conditions of employment for part-time employees are comparable to those of full-
time employees in the same organization. Part-time workers are contracted to work for fewer
hours than the employer's normal full-time hours.
A service agreement is generally the most detailed and heavy duty type of employment
contract. Normally this document would contain specific details about how the director should
behave within the business and the scope and extent of their duties. Service agreements are
often very comprehensive documents.
As a director would usually have unlimited access to a company‟s financial and confidential
information, a service agreement almost always contain restrictive covenants and thorough
confidentiality requirements.
A fixed-term employment contract is normally for temporary employees. The duration of the
contract can be anything from a couple of weeks to a few years. This type of contract can
vary dramatically in its scope and extent.
23
Temporary staff who are expected to be with your business for a few weeks may only require a
very basic set of terms and conditions whereas employees undertaking specific projects over the
course of a year or two can sometimes need very carefully drafted and prescriptive employment
contracts.
The zero hour‟s contract has proved to be somewhat controversial in recent times. The
government is currently in the process of implementing certain restrictions on how zero hours
contracts can be used. The zero hour‟s contract can however be a very effective tool for
employers.
A normal employment contract would create a mutual obligation between the employer and the
employee. The employer agrees to provide a certain amount of work and the employee agrees to
go and carry that work out. The zero hours contract waters this obligation down by allowing the
employer to require the employee to come to work without guaranteeing to provide work to the
employee. This means that the employer can call upon the services of the employee as and when
required.
Zero hours contracts can often require a great deal of consideration and it is important
that arrangements with employees are such that a zero hour‟s contract can be used.
Casual working arrangements can sometimes be confused with zero hours arrangements.
There is however some fundamental differences between the two. A casual work contract is
generally applicable to a person who is classed as being a „worker‟ rather than an „employee‟.
Workers have fewer employment rights than employees. The casual contract is not normally a
permanent employment contract and would, for instance, be used for seasonal workers who work
only a few weeks of the year.
Unlike the zero hours model, a casual worker would not normally be obliged to accept work
offered to them and may not qualify to be paid statutory payments such as statutory sick pay.

Consultancy Agreement
Retention Money:
Retention is a percentage (often 5%) of the amount certified as due to the contractor on an
interim certificate, that is deducted from the amount due and retained by the client. The purpose
of retention is to ensure that the contractor properly completes the activities required of them
under the contract.
Retention money is described as the sum of money held by the employer as a safeguard for
any defective or non-conforming work by the contractor. Retention money safeguards the
employer by defects which can occur during the defects liability period if the contractor
doesn‟t response according to the contract terms.
In general, Retention Money provides protection to the employer. Retention money gives the
idea of importance of completing the signed project as per it‟s terms and designs.
25
With such retention held, the contractor takes the responsibility to complete the construction
project as per the design and quality stated in the initial contract.
In most of the construction contracts, the amount of Retention Money to held in each progress
claim is 10% of the work done and up to 5% of the contract sum.
(However these figures can be different from contract to contract and you may need to refer the
contract document for the construction project that you work for before deducting any amount.)
The sum due to Interim Payment Certificate shall be calculated at the rate of 90% for the value
of work done & at the rate of 80% for the properly protected materials or goods delivered on site.
(Generally)
Therefore the percentage of the sum not paid is known as „Retention Money‟ for the contract.
Retention sum is subjected to limit as per the stated percentage in the contract which is known as
„Limit of Retention‟.
In general, „Limit of Retention‟ is 5% of the contract sum. Therefore once the Limit of
Retention is reached, Further Retention Money cannot be deducted from the next interim
certificates.
Release of retention is another important item or milestone in any construction contract which is
also an indication of completion of the scope of the project up to the mentioned stages.
26
The first half of the Retention Monies needs to be certified and released at the time of issuing
the Completion Certificate. If there is any outstanding work for the project, those will be stated
in the Completion Certificate. A reasonable cost will be deducted from the retention money to
cover the costs of completing the remaining work by a 3rd party if the contractor doesn‟t accept
to complete the rejected work or any outstanding work.
The second half of Retention Monies will be certified and released upon the expiry of defects
liability period. In most construction contracts, the Defects Liability period is 12 months
which the contractor is liable to complete any defects arise due to the poor workmanship.
Upon issuance of Maintenance Certificate, the 2nd half of Retention Money will be released.
The first payment provides half the money held upon the subcontractor's completion of their
portion of the work. This is known as the first moiety of retention. The second moiety of
retention is paid once the defects liability period has ended. This period can last anywhere from
six months to over a year.
Employee‟s Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement benefit scheme that‟s available to all salaried
employees. This fund is maintained and overseen by the Employees Provident Fund
27
Organization of India (EPFO) and any company with over 20 employees is required by law
to register with the EPFO.
It‟s a savings platform that helps employees save a fraction of their salary every month that can
be used in the event that you are rendered unable to work, or upon retirement.
When you start working, you and your employer both contribute 12% of your basic salary
(plus dearness allowances, if any) into your EPF account. The entire 12% of your contribution
goes into your EPF account along with 3.67% (out of 12%) from your employer, while the
balance 8.33% from your employer‟s side is diverted to your EPS (Employee‟s Pension
Scheme) . It‟s important to note that if your basic pay is above Rs. 6,500 per month, your
employer can only contribute 8.33% of 6,500 (i.e. Rs. 541) to your EPS and the balance goes
into your EPF account.
These funds are pooled together from many employees like yourself and invested by a trust.
This generates an interest of 8% - 12%, which is decided by the government and the central
board of trustees.
A provident fund is created with a purpose of providing financial security and stability to
employees. A person starts his contribution in the PF fund once he joins a company as an
employee. The contributions are made on a regular basis.
28

LITERATURE REVIEW
Meaning:
Accounts payable analysis.Payable turnover. Divide total annual purchases by the average total
payables balance to arrive at the payables turnover rate. Then divide the turnover rate into 365
days to determine the average number of days that the company is taking to pay its bills
The accounts payable turnover ratio shows investors how many times per period a company pays
its accounts payable. In other words, the ratio measures the speed at which a company pays its
suppliers. Accounts payable is listed on the balance sheet under current liabilities.
Investors can use the accounts payable turnover ratio to determine if a company has enough
cash or revenue to meet its short-term obligations. Creditors can use the ratio to measure
whether to extend a line of credit to the company.
47
A Decreasing Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio
A decreasing turnover ratio indicates that a company is taking longer to pay off its suppliers than
in previous periods. The rate at which a company pays its debts could provide an indication of
the company's financial condition. A decreasing ratio could signal that a company is in financial
distress. Alternatively, a decreasing ratio could also mean the company has negotiated different
payment arrangements with its suppliers.
When the turnover ratio is increasing, the company is paying off suppliers at a faster rate than in
previous periods. An increasing ratio means the company has plenty of cash available to pay off
its short-term debt in a timely manner. As a result, an increasing accounts payable turnover ratio
could be an indication that the company managing its debts and cash flow effectively.
However, an increasing ratio over a long period could also indicate the company is not
reinvesting back into its business, which could result in a lower growth rate and lower earnings
for the company in the long term. Ideally, a company wants to generate enough revenue to pay
off its accounts payable quickly, but not so quickly the company misses out on opportunities
because they could use that money to invest in other endeavors.Ratio between credit sales that are
not paid and the sum of the credit sales. This illustrates how effective credit policy is. The formula
for the creditors' turnover ratio is credit purchase / average trade creditors.
Accounts payable turnover is a ratio that measures the speed with which a company pays its
suppliers. If the turnover ratio declines from one period to the next, this indicates that the
company is paying its suppliers more slowly, and may be an indicator of worsening
financial condition.
Accounts payable turnover ratio is calculated by taking the total purchases made from suppliers,
or cost of sales, and dividing it by the average accounts payable amount during the same period.
The accounts payable turnover ratio is a short-term liquidity measure used to quantify the rate
at which a company pays off its suppliers. Accounts payable turnover shows how many times a
company pays off its accounts payable during a period.
48
Accounts payable is short-term debt that a company owes to its suppliers and creditors. The
accounts payable turnover ratio shows how efficient a company is at paying its suppliers
and short-term debts.
Ratios, by themselves, are not an end but only one of the means of understanding the financial
health of a business entity. Ratio analysis is not capable of providing precise answers to all the
problems faced by any business unit. Ratio analysis is basically a technique of:
1. Objective of analysis
2. Selection of relevant data
3. Deciding appropriate ratios to be calculated
4. Comparing the calculated ratios with norms or standards or forecasts; and
5. Interpretation of the ratios
1. Calculate the average accounts payable for the period by subtracting the accounts
payable balance at the beginning of the period from the accounts payable balance at the
end of the period.
2. Divide the result by two to arrive at the average accounts payable. Take total
supplier purchases for the period and divide it by the average accounts payable for
the period.
Accounts payable (AP) is an accounting entry that represents a company's obligation to pay off
a short-term debt to its creditors or suppliers. It appears on the balance sheet under the current
liabilities.
On account is an accounting term that denotes partial payment of an amount owed or the
purchase/sale of merchandise or services on credit.
Accounts payable and its management is a critical business process through which an entity
manages its payable obligations effectively. Accounts payable is the amount owed by an entity to
its vendors/suppliers for the goods and services received. To elaborate, once an entity orders
goods and receives before making the payment for it, it should record a liability in its books of
accounts based on the invoice amount. This short-term liability due to the suppliers, vendors, and
others is called accounts payable. Once the payment is made to the vendor for the unpaid
purchases, the corresponding amount is reduced from the accounts payable balance.
Accounts payable and its management is vital for the smooth functioning process of any
business entity. It is important for any business because:
● It primarily takes charge of paying the entity‟s bills on a timely basis. This is
important so that strong credit and long-term relationship with the vendors can be
maintained.
● Only when invoices are paid on time, vendors will ensure an uninterrupted flow
of supplies and services; which in turn will help in the systematic flow of
business.
● A good accounts payable process ensures there are no overdue charges, penalty or late
fees to be paid for the dues.
● The organized accounts payable process ensures all that the invoices due are tracked
and paid properly. This will help avoid missing payments and making a payment twice.
● It also enables business entities to manage better cash flows (i.e. making payments
only when due, using the credit facility provided by the vendor, etc.)
50
● Frauds and thefts can be avoided to a greater extent by following a stringent
accounts payable process.
51
For a company‟s financial statements to be complete and accurate, the accounts payable
balances should be recorded with accuracy. These payables must be dealt with efficiently and
accurately. If there is a double-entry of an expense or omission of a particular invoice, the
financial statements will not report the correct amounts and the loss will be huge when the
numbers involved are big. Hence, proper recording of the expense and tracking of the payment is
necessary.
As and when the due dates arrive (based on a mutual understanding with the
vendor/supplier/creditor), the payments need to be processed. Here, the required documents need
to be prepared and verified. Details entered on the cheque, vendors bank account details,
payment vouchers, the original bill, purchase order/agreement, etc., need to be scrutinized. Often
the signature of the authorized person may be required.
Once the payments are made, the vendors/suppliers/creditors ledger account has to be closed in
the books of accounts. This will reduce the liability earlier created. In simpler words, the amount
showed as payable, will no longer be seen as a liability.
The procedures mentioned above are organization specific. They can be stricter for large
companies with more approvals required. However, the basic steps are needed to be considered
before payments are made in order to avoid errors and frauds.
The process of paying vendors is one of the final steps in the Purchase to pay cycle. Briefly,
when company orders goods from a supplier it raises a Purchase Order (PO), when the goods or
services arrive they will receive an invoice from the supplier.
Process of paying vendors is one of the final steps in the Purchase to pay cycle. Briefly, when
company orders goods from a supplier it raises a Purchase Order, when the goods or services
arrive they will receive an invoice from the supplier. If the goods or service matches the PO the
details of the invoice are entered into the Account Payable system. When you pay a bill, to help
you keep track of outstanding values, you need to record this against the relevant bill. You can
record the payment from within the relevant invoice. You can also create a remittance advice,
which you can send to your vendors so they know which invoice you‟re paying.
52
If you want to pay multiple bills for the same vendor at the same time, or want to record a small
discount to offset the payment, you can do so. If you send your vendor an overpayment, you
can also record the remaining amount as a payment on account using this option.
Accounts payable and its management is a critical business process through which an entity
manages its payable obligations effectively. Accounts payable is the amount owed by an entity
to its vendors/suppliers for the goods and services received.Accountspayableis money owed by a
business to its suppliers shown as a liability on a company's balance sheet. It is distinct from
notes payable liabilities, which are debts created by formal legal instrument documents.
The payment to the contractors for works or supply or material, road metal and plants etc. are
made on the basis of measurements recorded in the measurement books. When the work or
supply is completed or sufficiently progressed, the detailed measurements are taken usually by
the section officer and recorded in the measurement book and an abstract of quantities are
prepared and the cost is calculated at the rate of the contract agreement. From the abstract of
quantity and the rate, a bill is prepared for payment.
2. Bill and Voucher
Bill: Bill is the account of work done or supply of materials made and includes the
particulars and quantities of work done or material supplied and amount due. Reference to the
agreement number, order number is also given in the bill.
Voucher: Voucher is a written document with details which is kept in record as a proof of
payment. For any payment, a bill is prepared and payment is made on the bill, duly checked
and acknowledged by the payee, by signature or revenue stamp as required and after payment is
made, bill becomes voucher which is kept in record.
3. Types of Bills
the various standard forms of bills and vouchers are used for payment, according to the
nature of works. White forms are used for running bills and yellow forms are used for final
bills. The following are the different types of bills.
53
➢ Lump sum contract Bill
➢ Hand receipt
➢ First and Final Bill: This form is used for making payment to the contractor both for
works and suppliers, when a single payment is to be made on the completion of the whole
work or supply as final payment. This type of bill is generally adopted for petty works or
split up works in projects.
➢ Running Account Bill – Form A: This form is used for advance payment without any
measurement. It may be used for running bill payment for advance for unmeasured work
only or combination of unmeasured work and measured work or if „on account‟ payment
is to be made but an advance payment already made for the same work is outstanding.
➢ Running Account Bill – Form C: This form is used for contracts both for works executed on
piece work system and for suppliers received. This form is widely used specially for medium
sized works executed through K2 contract or split up works or projects entrusted on
nomination to a number of contractors.
➢ Lump Sum Contract Bill: In the L.S. contract methods, a number of intermediate
payments are made in L.S. contract running account bill form before final payment is
made. Intermediate payment is made for (i) value of measure up items of work executed
forming part of the contract. (ii) Value of authorized extra work done on account of
additions or modifications in the work executed supported by details in either case.
In the final L.S. bill, the full amount as entered in the contract is paid adding the amount of
authorized extras and deducting authorized omission and the intermediate payments already
made.
1. Hand Receipt: Hand receipt is a simple form of voucher intended to be used for small
miscellaneous payments and advances for which none of the above forms is suitable. The
purpose of payment and the designation of the officer making payment duly supported by
measurement book entry should be furnished on the hand receipt No agreement is necessary
for payments made through Hand receipt form.
54
4. Types of payment
Payment to contractors are made in a variety of ways, as listed below:
55
measurement book. All entries in the measurement book with regard to the description and
quantities of work or supplies made are checked. Arithmetical calculations of the contents or
area are verified. When, the bill is on running account then it is compared with the quantities
etc. with the previous bill. It is checked whether deduction in respect of the following have been
properly made.
In case of final bills the field officers should certify about the due fulfillment of contract and
satisfactory completion of work.
The memorandum of payment is then made. The competent officer records a formal pay order
specifying both in words and figures the net amount payable. However the contractor is required
to acknowledge the gross amount payable inclusive of recoveries proposes in the bill.
When the bill is passed for payment, every page containing the detailed measurement will be
scored out by a diagonal red ink line. The number and date of the voucher for payment will be
entered in the measurement book.
CREDITORS VELOCITY:
Accounts payable turnover ratio (also known as creditor‟s turnover ratio or creditors' velocity)
is computed by dividing the net credit purchases by average accounts payable. It measures the
number of times, on average; the accounts payable are paid during a period.
A business concern may not purchase it‟s all items on cash basis. Sometimes, there may be
credit purchase. This ratio is calculated to find the time taken in paying the creditors‟ amount. It
is very similar to Debtors / Inventory Turnover Ratio. This ratio is otherwise called as creditor‟s
velocity.
56
This ratio indicates the degree of efficiency of management in paying creditors amount.
Generally, lower the ratio, the liquidity of the business concern is in better position and vice
versa. In other words, higher the ratio, the company enjoys the credit period allowed by the
suppliers and the amount may be used for some other productive purpose. At the same time, the
higher ratio may also imply lesser discount facilities availed or higher prices paid for the goods
purchased on credit.
Creditors Velocity It indicates the number of times sundry creditors have been paid during a
year. It is calculated by dividing the net credit purchases by average creditors.
57
CHAPTER -3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION:
The word “Research” is derived from French meaning to say “to investigate thoroughly”.
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. It can also define research
as scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on specific “Topic”
Research Methodology deals with aspects of how effectively researcher uses its various steps,
methods, techniques. The Researcher must conduct it with certain amount of logic behind it so
that results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher or investigator himself or by
others.
“Research designs not only anticipates and specifies the seemingly countless decisions connected
with carrying out data collections processing and analysis but it present a logical basis for
decisions”.
In the current scenario to know the creditors turnover ratio in working capital. So in the present
prevailing conditions it is essential to understand the financial conditions of the company and
analyze the financial statements to measure the company‟s ability towards the bills payables.
58
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
Financial statements contains large number of financial figures and also there are many ratios
and there in analyzing Bills payables. From the study of these absolute figures and analyzing
the creditors turnover ratio in working capital. It is important to derive a precise idea about how
to avoid high credit in future.
DURATION OF RESEARCH:
Data collected from all the available sources will be tabulate, collated and interpreted dully
supported with charts, tables, graphs etc. whenever necessary data collected will be subjected to
such authenticity test as deemed Necessary and the duration of the research is two months.
No effect will be spread in ensuring a complete of detail study, given the limitations to study.
Based on findings on the study and result conclusion, recommendations will be offered.
59
DATA TYPE:
Data refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in
some form suitable for better usage or processing.
The research of this work made extensive use of different sources of data collection. For this
purpose data were collected from both the primary and secondary sources so as to present a more
objective view in the end.
Sources of data:
A) Primary data:
It is the data which is collected for the first time for a specified purpose. Generally primary data
is originally and specific in nature. This study is collected through the records maintained by
company through direct interview & questionnaires with the staff of HAL.
B) Secondary data:
Secondary data refers to data that was collected by someone other than the user. Secondary data
covers the data which might have been previously published and which might have been existing
before the need for the study.
The tools and techniques are used for the analyzing the data, which includes tables, bar-chart and
simple percentage method have been used for the purpose of analysis and presentations. For the
data analysis the subsequent interpretations has been interpreted
60
ANALYTICAL TOOLS:
Excel based information is been provided. All the necessary information which the company must have
semiannually, annually reports everything is provided through Excel tool.
As far as possible I have put my best efforts to collect the data in the course of the entire study.
Throughout the study, I found some of the limitations, which are:
● Due to the short period of time of project works, the study was confined only too
few components of the cost control.
● The finding is substantially based on information given by the guide report of
the company.
● Due to strict policy of the company they did not provide al the information.

CHAPTER -5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION
Findings:
1. Facilities management division should concentrate on the debtors and they should
concentrate on the increase in collecting the outstanding receivables.
2. Facilities management division provides services to the other divisions and on obtaining
admin approvals, processing of tendering activities, Technical evaluation and placement
of order for civil, electrical and Service contracts required for Bangalore based divisions
and townships. And it provides the services like Power Supply & Distribution Water
Supply & Distribution Transport Management Telephones Environment Management
Quarters maintenance Housekeeping and Landscape management Public amenities
74
Management Event Management. So as it is providing all the services so the expenses
aremore.
3. Facilities management division should concentrate on reducing the payment cycle because
it delays for making payments and it is more time consuming.
4. Facilities management division should concentrate on revenue income and mainly
collect all the bills receivables and debts.
5. Facilities management division is having miscellaneous expenses like payment to
contractor‟s causal, payment to security services, guest house expenses,
ceremonial
expenses, hiring of vehicles. Seminars and conferences, Hindi training expenditures office
contingences.
6. The operating activities are too less because this division provides service to other
divisions and income less when compare to expenditures.
75
Conclusion:-
The study on bills payable analysis was mainly under taken to study the out flow and inflow of
cash from various financial elements in practical condition. This is an opportunity, which helped
me in understanding cash flows and practical knowledge with respect to company‟s
performance.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was setup in 1940 and it carries very important
responsibilities towards the Indian armed force. HAL produces the major proportion of aircraft,
upon which they depend to meet their commitments to national defense Indian arm force (IAF) is
one of the major customers of HAL. Other customers are Non (IAF), CIVIL and EXPORTS for
which they provide equal efficient effective services.
Through the study of statements of the company I found that the reason for too much of current
liabilities and there is a lot of expenses and much of creditors because they provide services to
other divisions. They also provide services to employees how stay in HAL premises.
In the year 2015-2016, the expenses of the company were high. The company had
2023.31(43.42%) and in the next year 2016-2017 the expenses of the company decreased to
1099(23.58%) and in the year 2017-2018 the expenses are again raised when compared to the
previous year it has increased to 1538(33.00%) because the company has too much of expenses
due to this it is increased.
By the organization study, I found that the organization has most depended on the external
services and resources. Executives are satisfied with present organizations rules and regulations
and modernized. The system needs to change according to the changing to the conditions of the
business. So it is suggested for Facilities Management Division to concentrate on debtors and
collect all the bills receivables and outstanding.
