One of the most important operational resources a company possesses is undoubtedly cash. Often regarded as the lifeblood of corporate activity, cash systems (especially cash receiving systems) are surrounded by elaborate internal control procedures, often based on the separation of operational duties between a range of company employees and the control of cash receiving documentation.
