10.1 Payment Systems

individual transaction is small– Anonymity– Security concerns
![Page 5: BAF3M Accounting Chapter 10 – Cash Control and Banking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56649e8a5503460f94b8f456/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
10.1 Payment Systems
• Cheques (“Checks” in the USA)– Written instruction to transfer an amount from
one account to another– Takes longer– Could be NSF– More secure
![Page 6: BAF3M Accounting Chapter 10 – Cash Control and Banking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56649e8a5503460f94b8f456/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
10.1 Payment Systems
• Credit Cards– Limited monthly spending limit– Issuer (visa, amex, etc) pays the merchant– You pay the issuer back by the due date– If you don’t pay on time, you pay interest– Relatively safe, very convenient– Some fraud occurs– Some have annual fees
![Page 7: BAF3M Accounting Chapter 10 – Cash Control and Banking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56649e8a5503460f94b8f456/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
10.1 Payment Systems
• Debit Cards– Money goes directly from your account to the
seller’s account– Need a PIN (please never say “PIN Number”)– Extremely popular, safe, convenient– Some bank accounts charge for debiting
![Page 8: BAF3M Accounting Chapter 10 – Cash Control and Banking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56649e8a5503460f94b8f456/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
10.1 Payment Systems
• Direct Transfers– Money goes from one account to another
automatically on a set date • Example: My mortgage payment is deducted from my bank
account every 2nd Wednesday.. I never actually hand any cash to CIBC (who holds my mortgage)
– Goes the other way too – many people are paid by ‘direct deposit’
• Example: My employer (GECDSB) never actually gives me cash... Every 15th and 30th my pay is automatically deposited to my bank account

10.4 Accounting Controls for Cash
1) Where possible 2 people should process and prepare accounting documents independently of each other and their work must agree.
2) The person who records transactions or prepares accounting records should not also control or handle the physical assets.
3) All assets should be kept in a safe place.
![Page 18: BAF3M Accounting Chapter 10 – Cash Control and Banking](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56649e8a5503460f94b8f456/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4) Only a few key employees should be allowed to approve and authorize transactions.
5) An independent accountant should periodically carry out an audit to ensure that the accounting system is being followed correctly.
6) Responsibilities should be clearly established. It should be easy to tell who is responsible for errors or missing assets.
