Hello,
I'm curious on what the best practices is at other companies. I'm having a disagreement with someone who is not in the accounting department on this topic:
Someone comes to you with an invoice that needs to be paid to a new vendor. Who is responsible for requesting the W-9 form?
At my current employer, its always been the practice for the person who is engaging the new vendor to request the W-9 form. But certain people at my company want this to be to changes to the accounts payable clerks responsibly.
So I am coming to all you asking what is the best practice on this?
Regards,
Patrick
