Receivables Fact Finding
Key Questions to Consider What process do you use to collect funds or receipts? What is the average amount? How many checks do you receive on a monthly basis? How often do you go to the bank? How do you update your receivables? What does it cost you to process your collections? What challenges are you experiencing with your collections process? What are the current options to submit payments? Describe the payments you typically receive (check, ACH, etc.)? If you could, what would you change or improve about your collections
process? Do you hold onto check deposits? Do you photocopy your checks before making deposits? How often do you need coin? How do you manage the delivery of cash to the bank? Have you experienced any internal or external fraud relating to your cash
processing?

Payables Fact Finding
Key Questions to Consider How many checks do you currently write per month? What challenges are you experiencing with your disbursements? What process and controls do you use to make disbursements? What is the average payment amount? How much time are you spending dealing with reconciling your accounts? Does your company have any “Green” initiatives? If applicable, have you experienced fraud in relation to the way you process
your check or ACH payments? How do you determine your daily cash position? How long does it take? What challenges are you experiencing with funding your daily disbursements? What systems have you used in the past to monitor checks clearing or checks
being returned on your accounts? What process do you use to make international disbursements? What’s the
associated cost?
