Month End Accounting Procedures Causing Trouble for Your Business?
Errors in accounting processes have a cumulative effect. A mistake early in the year that’s not caught during month end accounting procedures will roll over from one month to the next, ultimately resulting in difficulties balancing the books and filing taxes at the end of the quarter or the year.
Do you have a system of month end accounting procedures designed to catch bookkeeping errors before they become a problem? One of the best ways to catch mistakes is to have a second set of eyes reviewing your bookkeeper’s work. Having someone else review your books each month:
- Helps prevent theft and corporate fraud, since the bookkeeper knows she’s not the only set of eyes on the books
- Catches innocent mistakes of figures being entered incorrectly or entered in the wrong places
- Helps ensure your month end accounting procedures follow GAAP accounting best practices
