FLOWCHART THE FOLLOWING PROCESS
- Payments from customers are received by mail i,e, inside envelopes.
- Every payment includes: 1. a payment coupon, and 2. a payment check
- Mailed payments are opened and the envelopes are thrown away.
- If both documents are not in the envelope, the one document that does exist is sent to the payment errors desk for further processing.
- If the amounts printed on the coupon and the amount written on the check are not the same amount, both documents are sent to the payment errors desk for further processing.
- If the check is not signed, both documents are sent to the payment errors desk for further processing.
NOTE: The three tests of the documents described above must be diagramed in separate processes.
- Separate stacks are made of the checks and the coupons
- A paper tape/report is made of the dollar amounts of each the coupons and the grand total
- A paper tape/report is made of the dollar amounts of each the checks and the grand total
- The coupons and the Adding Machine Tape/Report of their dollar total is then bound together and sent to the IT input output control desk for further IT processing.
- The checks and the Adding machine tape/report of their dollar total is then bound together and send to the payment deposit desk.
- An employee working at the payments deposit desk then fills out a deposit slip(this is the "original" deposit slip).
- A copy of the deposit slip is made and, along with the adding machine tape/report, is put into a file at the payment deposit desk.
- If the amount to be deposited is greater than $50,000, three additional copies of the deposit slip are made: one is sent to the company's CFO, one to the company's internal audit department, and one to the company's CCO(chief compliance officer).
- All of the checks are the original deposit slip are sent, together, to the company's bank.
- A bank receipt for the dollar amount of the deposit is sent back/brought back from the bank and filed in the same file as the deposit slip at the payment deposit desk.
