Collateral Damage In A Workout Is Sometimes Unavoidable.

A good secured bank loan workout, when started in advance of the banks pursuit of legal action and done well, is seamless and invisible. Only a small handful of participants are aware of it: your banker, us, perhaps some unsecured vendors, and of course, the secured and guaranteed creditors. There will be neither public recital nor publication in any way, both of which can hurt businesses in meaningful ways

The Computer Did It!

Keeping your eye on the numbers?  Chances are that your accounting software is providing you with those numbers.  But when it comes to fraud, there’s a flip side.  A dishonest employee can use that same software to take lots of your money – but the books will look GREAT! Here’s just one example: In a recently-reported fraud, an accounts payable clerk embezzled nearly $200,000 from her employer, Vitasoy USA, over a five-year period ( http://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/Press%20Office%20-%20Press%20Release%20Files/Jan2010/RichardSarahPleaPR.html ).

Preparing for the 990/990EZ- Accounts Payable

Keeping with the original premise:  the books must be tied down, reconciled, fixed and accurate BEFORE the Form 990 or 990EZ and other regulatory information returns can be accurately prepared.  Remember the GIGO principle- Garbage In Garbage Out?  Monthly is preferable, quarterly may suffice, and if once a year is all you have then make that effort your best effort!  Accounts Payable -  Total accounts payable must agree to the total monies owed your vendors at the end of the month and fiscal year.   Run an aging report by vendor, if you have the capability.  Compare each vendor balance to the vendor’s statement to ensure your books agree.  Follow up and correct if they don’t agree.

Rest of the day for the intermediate pass from Teekli village’s senior secondary school was more of the same: looking after the kids, doing chores, and sometimes, doing nothing
