Setting Up an Accounts Department
There are many aspects to consider while setting up your own accounts department. It involves defining the structure, which includes key roles such as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Financial Controller, accountants, bookkeepers, internal auditors, and assistants.
Recruiting and hiring qualified staff is crucial, involving clearly defined job descriptions and thorough hiring processes. Establishing financial policies and procedures is another key aspect, covering revenue recognition, expense recording, asset valuation, internal controls to prevent errors and fraud, and processes for budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
The selection and implementation of accounting software is vital. The software should handle invoicing, payroll, expense tracking, and financial reporting. Proper training for staff on using this software is necessary for efficient operations.
Organising financial documents, both digital and physical, is essential, along with implementing a tailored chart of accounts. Developing a reporting schedule defines the frequency and scope of financial reports, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and timeliness. Setting up a payroll system that integrates with the accounting software ensures compliance with tax regulations and employment laws.
Banking and cash management procedures, including managing cash flow and petty cash controls, are also important. Providing ongoing training and professional development for staff helps maintain updated knowledge of accounting standards and software. Regular monitoring and review of accounting processes, soliciting feedback, and conducting periodic audits ensure ongoing compliance and accuracy.
