Your Monthly Bank Statement
Always have your monthly bank statements mailed to your home address, and check for the following items:

2. Are there duplicate payments
3. Payroll checks – the number of checks and whether or not an employee has received any extra payroll checks
4. Check endorsements
5. Bank charges – fees, overdrafts, returned checks, late payments, other items that you don’t recognize
6. Debits to your accounts
7.Automatic monthly payments
Your Checking Account
A practice owner should always:
1. Personally review and sign all checks
2. Review the invoices, statements, receipts or supporting documentation for check approval
3. Make sure you recognize the vendor and understand the reason for writing the check
4. Use professionally printed checks with multiple security features
5. Frequently inspect the checkbook to ensure that no additional checks have been taken from the back of the checkbook
6. Keep all voided checks in order to account for all of the check numbers
