Journal Entry Best Practices

A few best practices related to journal entries must be followed for better monitoring of financial transactions. Here is a list of some techniques:

Use a workflow to review and approve journal entries before posting to general ledger accounts.

Ensure appropriate individuals are involved in the process of approving the journal entries to avoid fraud and error in finances.

Use a CENTRALISED LOCATION TO KEEP ALL THE JOURNAL ENTRIES; this will make it easier to approve and track records whenever required.

Establish an audit trail that will be beneficial to find any discrepancies in the journal entries.

Provide clear and transparent guidelines to individuals approving the journal entries to negate inconsistency in the result.

Train employees on using a journal entry system to save time and complete work efficiently.

Centralization of records


Explanation:
I'm not sure if we're talking about income or expenses, I think "lignes" refers to "Ecritures", as in the next line.

Centralisation de trésorerie


Explanation:
Cash-pooling is an instrument used to optimise corporate accounts. Companies typically use a number of current accounts and cash-pooling gives them the opportunity to consolidate these bank accounts into a ‘master account’ and accrue interest on a daily basis as a whole

Example sentence(s):
  • Furthermore, UNHCR did not put cash pooling agreements in place, either for headquarters or for field accounts.
