Accounts Payable Turnover

A short-term liquidity measure that shows how many times a company pays off its suppliers in a period, which can indicate how well the company manages its cash outflow. This ratio helps businesses assess the efficiency of their payment processes and their relationship management with suppliers. A higher turnover rate may suggest prompt payments that could qualify the company for discounts or favorable terms, whereas a lower rate might indicate potential cash flow issues.
