Document Summary

Control is most effective when only one person is responsible for a given task. Establishing responsibility often requires limiting access only to authorized personnel, and then identifying those personnel. Different individuals should be responsible for related activities. The responsibility for record-keeping for an asset should be separate from the physical custody of that asset. Companies should use pre-numbered documents, and all documents should be accounted for. Employees should promptly forward source documents for accounting entries to the accounting department. Records periodically verified by an employee who is independent. Important internal control principle - segregation of record-keeping from physical custody. Mail receipts should be opened by two people, a list prepared, and each check endorsed for deposit only. Each mail clerk signs the list to establish responsibility for the data. Original copy of the list, along with the checks, is sent to the cashiers department. Copy of the list is sent to the accounting department for recording.
