A narrower review for a specific control concern
This engagement examines whether issued, voided and unused receipt numbers can be accounted for and whether daily collections are balanced to deposits and system totals. It suits an office that has found sequence gaps, repeated reversals, delayed deposits or inconsistent supervisor sign-off.
We walk through receipt custody, cashier handover, end-of-day balancing, cancellation approval and exception escalation. Testing covers an agreed period and named collection points. The report distinguishes isolated documentation failures from patterns that expose fee income to loss or misstatement.
Included
- receipt sequence and cancellation tests;
- selected daily cash-up to deposit tracing;
- review of user roles and override evidence;
- interviews with responsible finance and counter staff;
- a concise finding register and corrective-action discussion.
This is not a full fee completeness reconciliation and does not provide assurance over applications outside the selected sample. Fees are quoted after confirming collection points, tender types and the period under review.
