Document Summary

Controls over cash payments should provide reasonable assurance that payments are made for only authorized transactions. In addition, controls should ensure that cash is used efficiently. For example, controls should ensure that all available discounts, such as purchase discounts, are taken. In a small business, an owner/manager may authorize payments based upon personal knowledge of goods and services purchased. In a large business, however, the duties of purchasing goods, inspecting the goods received, and verifying the invoices are usually performed by different employees. These duties must be coordinated to ensure that checks for proper payments are made to creditors. One system used for this purpose is the voucher system. Voucher system: a voucher system is a set of procedures for authorizing and recording liabilities and cash payments. A voucher is any document that serves as proof of authority to pay cash or issue an electronic funds transfer. For example, an invoice properly approved for payment could be considered a voucher.
