What's been happening this week at Schools Financial Services

Financial Management and Best Practice Tips:

Invoiced Income - processes for managing income.

• Sufficient detail regarding charges for income should
  be kept
• Invoices should be accurate and reflect what the
  charges are for
• There should be separation of duties between those raising invoices and those receipting income
• All income should be posted to the school’s accounting system and reconciled regularly.

Please see Financial Controls - Section 8: Receipting of Income, Security and Banking (PDF, 92.6 KB) on KELSI for further details:
