-
1. checks are not stored in a secure area (locked drawer or safe)/ physical controls
2. the approval and payment of bills is done by the same individual/segregation of duties
3. checks are not pre numbered. They should be numbered by the bank preferably. /adequate records (documentation)
4. filing does not prevent a bill from being paid more than once. A "paid" stamp should be used on all invoices as soon as they're paid to prevent re-submission for payment/documentation procedures.
5. the accountant can prepare the bank reconciliation, but they should be reviewed regularly by someone else whether or not there are discrepancies / Perform regular and independent reviews
