Financial
Procedures
Practices
are advised to design and implement Financial Procedures which define
all aspects of the accounting and budgeting processes. The Procedures
should include controls on levels of authorisation (e.g. who can authorise
what value of purchases/expenditure levels, cheque signatory values,
petty cash authorisation/reconciliation) and in particular controls
on authorisation of electronic funds transfers (e.g. BACS and Internet
banking) where the dual signature procedures used for cheques cannot
be applied. The Practice's Accountants can usually assist with the
preparation of suitable Financial Procedures.
There
is a set of draft Financial Procedures (which can be customised to
suit the Practice) in the Financial index of the Members
Library.
