Accounts Payable Metrics Benchmarks, or APMBs, measure and evaluate a company’s performance in managing their payables. They provide a quantitative basis for analyzing financial data and determining the impact of certain decisions. APMBs can also be used to compare one company’s performance to another’s and track progress against defined goals throughout an organization. These metrics can reveal areas of improvement and suggest solutions for reducing costs, optimizing efficiency, and preventing discrepancies in an accounts payable system. Ultimately, APMBs are designed to help businesses make better decisions and improve their bottom line.
