Can a Bank change a Business nightsafe lodgement...

jinkybhoy

without first checking with the business owner.

We keep lodging overnight lodgements and then finding out a week later when we get the bank statment that its been changed - mostly pennies but today it was €50.00

do they need to legally check first?

all those night safe lodgements are counted under about 10 camera's...but you can always query it. If it's wrong it's wrong!

But even if it's the wrong cash amount - do they have to confirm with the business owner before they manually change the lodgement docket?

Einstein

Nope. It was probably the person who originally counted it made the mistake to begin with. You can query it, but I know that night safe lodgements are normally counted and triple checked and signed off by someone else under multiple camera angles.

thanks for that einstein.

its just it happens a lot and despite

1. it been double checked in our office
2. lots of warnings on the lodgement book with my name and number to call and NOT TO CHANGE THE LODGEMENT AMOUNT.
3. When there is change due its highlighted under amount lodged and on counterfoil in yellow highlighter!!!

Just going up to have a row with them so wanted to check out the facts.:)

Einstein

whenever we used nighsafes and had wrong amounts, we got brand new printed sheets signed by the guys who checked / double cheked etc...

Good luck with the row...bastid bankers :P
