Administration Manual - B.E.S.T. Undertaking.

While checking completed receipt book with the Issue Register, the Audit Clerk
ensures that the completed receipt Book does not contain any unused receipt. He, then,
checks the date of completion against the book number as noted in the Register.
Once a month, the Issue Register is scrutinized to check whether any receipt book has
remained incomplete for over 3 months. If so, the matter is taken up with the
department to have the book transferred and get it completed. This is done to avoid the
possibility of losing track of such unused / partly used books which may fall into
wrong hands or otherwise be misused.
8.7.6 Checking of Posting of Receipts in the Ledgers:
To ensure that amounts receipted are correctly credited to proper accounts, receipt
stubs are compared with their postings in the Ledgers against appropriate accounts. As
the work involved is voluminous and as the Consumers Department itself exercises
departmental control by reconciling total payments posted in the Ledgers with the
monthly figures of the Receipt Section, a test check is carried out.
