the bank statement to the general ledger.
If the details are not exactly the same as previously the transaction is debited to the cash clearing account and must be manually llocated.
This will indicate to the accounts clerks that something has changed and will be followed up
6. Manual Cheques
There are no manual cheques. Any urgent cheques are processed in the same way as described above and processed as a batch of one.
7. Creditors' Reconciliation
A monthly reconciliation is done of Creditors records to the GL by Daphne. The creditors reconciliation is put into Shaggy's monthly balancing folder but is not reviewed.
8. Voided Cancelled Cheques
Voided and cancelled cheques are marked cancelled and kept on file
9. Cheque Security
Unused cheques are stored in a locked filing cabinet or safe.
Daphne is the only holder ofa key, although both Shaggy and Velma are aware of where the key is kept.
Daphne receives a report from IT once a month and reviews the cheque sequence and missing numbers are agreed to the void or cancelled cheque file.
Missing cheques would be detected when the bank statement could not be matched to system transactions.
The banking is updated daily.
10. Changes to Creditor Master-files
Changes to the creditor master-files are made by Daphne and Velma.
A maintenance report is produced by the system, which lists all changes made to creditor master e information. This report is reviewed periodically by Scooby and signed off but he does not receive the supporting documentation
