The method for implementing internship activities is carried out offline for six months. The schedule for implementing internship activities is from Monday to Friday, starting from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon. One of the activities carried out is studying accounts payable from the purchasing aspect in receiving goods and invoices, supporting documents in payment procedures to suppliers, and the important role of Accounts Payable in the finance department. The results obtained by the partners were very satisfied with the intern students' persistence in checking data related to the smooth running of activities in the accounts payable department.
