Checks

[Gregory Forster]

Whew!  I have to thank you for the resource of where to look. However, I 
have to strongly disagree with your first paragraph though.  For the 
most part, personal checks either have a register, or have duplicates, 
or both.  I understand many now are just checking with the bank as far 
as how much they have in their account without regard to any proper 
record keeping.  As far as business checks are concerned, older or 
smaller businesses that use accounting services have to have check 
stubs.  I've been a bookkeeper at a CPA firm and accountant for many 
years.  Check stubs are the most popular method of properly coding and 
inputting expenditures.  Companies that can afford to have their own 
computerized accounting system integrated with AP, Payroll and other 
account withdrawals technically may not need a physical form of 
recording expenditures, however having a hard copy paper backup is 
always recommended if not too cumbersome. I realize that as technology 
is greatly enhanced as time progresses, newer methods may be used.  
We've had several clients providing their expenditures on spreadsheets 
via USB flash drives. That really was not cost efficient.  Maybe I'm 
just too old fashioned.
