IV. Lock-Box Collection Systems 1. Customer mails payment directly to seller’s bank. 3. Seller receives customer names and payment details from the bank. 2. Bank receives check and begins processing. A lock-box system reduces float by having checks deposited to a firm’s account before the firm processes them. Savings of lost interest can be significant when interest rates are high.
V. Cash Sales Unlike cash collections on account, cash sales have no prior record of occurrence. It is imperative that the sale be recorded so that any shortage of cash will be noticed. Customer audit is a general term used to describe procedures in which the customer acts as a control over the initial documentation of a transaction. Examples include: v Pricing items so that customers expect change. v Awarding prices for certain receipts. v No charge if a receipt is not offered.
