FICTIONAL DOCUMENT FOR PRACTICE - no reference to real people, companies or records

Notes from Margaret (retiring in December) on how the month is closed in the finance office:
- first thing download the bank statement from online banking, then I check it against the register (see reconciliation case)
- supplier invoices arrive in the accounts inbox, I save them on the 1st and the 15th
- if an invoice does not match the order I put it in "on hold" and write to the supplier, I do not record it
- on the 5th I send the accountant: VAT figures for the return, payroll summary, bank statement
- expense claims: I only approve them if the manager has signed, otherwise they go back
- bank portal password in the blue notebook (DO NOT write it down anywhere!!)
- careful: in December the close is on the 20th because of Christmas
- petty cash is counted on the last day, it must come to £300
