Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio

The accounts payable turnover ratio measures how quickly a company pays its suppliers within a period. Calculated by dividing net credit purchases by average accounts payable, it shows payment efficiency and financial discipline. A high ratio indicates timely payments, while a low one may suggest cash flow challenges or delayed settlements.
