Document Summary
The use of a bank contributes significantly to a good internal control over cash. It acts as a safeguard for cash, a clearing for cheques, and a second set of records. To open a bank chequing account, the bank runs a credit check and requires the depositor to sign a signature card. The bank provides the depositor with a book of serially numbered cheques and deposit slips. Each deposit must be documented by a deposit slip. The duplicate is stamped by the bank to establish authenticity, and then kept by the depositor. To manually control and account for cash is an expensive and time-consuming process. Therefore, funds are more often transferred among parties as an electronic funds transfer. A cheque is a written order signed by the depositor that directs the bank to pay a specified sum to a designated recipient.
