The trade payable ageing schedule is a disclosure requirement that provides information on the outstanding trade payables and their age.

 Although trade payables are typically classified as current liabilities, which are expected to be settled within one year, the ageing schedule can show payables outstanding for more than one year. Reasons for Ageing Schedule Beyond One Year -

*Operational Practices*: Companies may have operational practices or contractual terms that result in payables being outstanding for more than one year. 

- *Dispute or Litigation*: Payables may be disputed or under litigation, leading to delays in payment. -

*Industry Norms*: Certain industries may have longer payment terms or norms that result in payables being outstanding for more than one year. 

Purpose of Ageing Schedule The ageing schedule provides stakeholders with information on the company's liquidity position, creditworthiness, and ability to manage its working capital.

It helps to identify potential issues with payables management and assess the company's financial health. 

Three-Year Ageing Schedule The three-year ageing schedule provides a more detailed breakdown of the company's trade payables and helps to identify trends or issues in payables management. 

It can also provide insights into the company's ability to manage its working capital and meet its short-term obligations

Trade payables are considered current liabilities (due within 1 year). However, the Trade Payable Aging Schedule includes periods beyond 1 year to track delayed payments or extended credit terms with suppliers. This schedule helps identify outstanding amounts that may be due for longer than expected and is required for a more comprehensive financial disclosure, ensuring transparency about the company’s liabilities and liquidity risks.
