Accounts Payable

The Cherry Creek School District Accounts Payable Department is responsible for processing payments to vendors for goods and services. In addition, we audit and process expense reports for approved reimbursements to employees for mileage and other expenses incurred on behalf of the school district. Liability payments for insurance, taxes, utilities and construction contracts are also paid by this department.
 
Each year, over 11,000 checks are issued to vendors through the Accounts Payable department. Each item is quality checked for accuracy to include where the expense is coded and for the validity of invoices and other documentation. All of the payments issued are recorded in the Oracle system. The Accounting Department then gathers the data to complete financial reporting. All records are archived in compliance with the State of Colorado Record Retention Guidelines.
 
The 3 Accounts Payable Specialists are each assigned to a group of specific duties and vendors. The Accounts Payable Department tries to issue all payments within 30 days from the date of invoice and expedite payments that qualify for a cash discount or a paid via single use virtual credit card. For employee reimbursements, we use direct deposit to the account that is on file.
