1. Use the QuickBooks Audit Trail to protect against risk

The QuickBooks Audit Trail quickly bolds and italicizes any transaction that has been manipulated or changed. If more clients are using the Audit Trail report as part of their ongoing monthly review and management of their company, they would likely uncover fraud more quickly, limiting the emotional and financial impact to their organization.

2. Log all payments in your undeposited fun account
The undeposited funds figure is an automatically generated amount in your balance sheet to account for money that has been received but has not yet been deposited into the company’s bank account. Seeing funds in this account doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem or error, but if the amount begins to increase significantly, it might mean that funds being deposited into the bank account aren’t being recorded properly. Upon delivery of a client’s payment, open the deposit module and log all payments in QuickBooks.
