A Habit to Eliminate Financial Management Loopholes in Companies
Occasional cases of theft occurring within offices have been found to be committed by employees themselves, often due to financial difficulties or succumbing to temptation. While it is not necessary to be suspicious of everyone, it is important to maintain a sense of vigilance.
The most effective way to prevent “company mice” from appearing is to start with management systems.
● Make good use of Current and Savings Accounts
Most companies have both a current account and a savings account.
It is recommended to receive payments exclusively in the savings account. In addition to earning interest on the deposits, this ensures that the balance does not fall below the bank’s minimum balance, which could lead to additional service fees.
Each time a transfer or payment is made, an extract amount should be transferred from the savings account to the current account for the cheque clearing. If the current account shows a negative balance, it immediately indicates an accounting error that needs to be investigated.
In reality, many bosses opt for convenience by first depositing a large sum into the current account and then relying on the accounting or administrative colleagues to make payments from that account.
When the account is empty, they deposit more funds. While this reduces the number of transfers, it creates a loophole in financial management.
With the temptation right in front of them, bosses often do not have the time to review each transaction, and not everyone can resist temptation. Individuals with ill intentions take advantage of this situation and gradually erode the company’s interests.
The boss unknowingly fattens the “mice” without realizing it. On the other hand, when both accounts are transparent and any anomalies are immediately noticed, it naturally discourages risky behavior.
A boss cannot handle everything personally when building a successful business. To avoid “letting a mouse into the cheese storage,” it is necessary to establish and follow systems.
By developing good habits and utilizing management tools, unnecessary worries can be reduced, allowing the boss to focus on their strengths!
