Q:

What is 'Three-Way Match' refers in Acconting ?

Answer

In accounting, the Three-way Match refers to a procedure used when processing an invoice received from a vendor or supplier. The three-way match is an important step in safeguarding an organization's assets. The purpose of the three-way match is to avoid paying incorrect and perhaps fraudulent invoices.


Here Three-way refers to the three documents involved :


* Vendor's invoice which was received and will become part of an organization's accounts        payable if approved.


* Purchase order that was prepared by the organization.


* Receiving report that was prepared by the organization.


And Match refers to the comparison of the quantities, price per unit, terms, etc. appearing on the vendor's invoice to the information on the purchase order and to the quantities actually received.


After the vendor's invoice has been validated by the three-way match, it can be further processed for payment.

Q:

What is the Debit Balance recovery? How we can recover if we won’t have any future transactions from supplier ?

Answer

The Debit balance recovery is usually made by raising a credit memo for the regular vendors. However if there are no future transactions from the supplier, we ask the vendor to send the check / make an EFT for the amount due from him. When payment is made to the wrong vendor or payment made in excess, in that case overpayment has gone to the vendor, so for us it is vendor debit balance. For debit balance recovery, we can either follow- up with the vendor to send us the excess amount / refund back, or we can adjust that extra amount in future invoices submitted by that vendor. In case no future transactions, we have to follow-up with the vendor, failing which we have to write off this amount.

Q:

Commercial banks are funded through which of the following?

A) Stock holders B) Government funding
C) Services D) Customer deposits
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Customer deposits

Explanation:

A commercial bank is a type of financial institution that accepts deposits, offers checking account services, makes business, personal and mortgage loans, and offers basic financial products like certificates of deposit (CDs) and savings accounts to individuals and small businesses. A commercial bank is where most people do their banking, as opposed to an investment bank.

 

Commercial banks are funded through customer deposits. These banks make money by providing loans and earning interest income from those loans. The types of loans a commercial bank can issue vary and may include mortgages, auto loans, business loans and personal loans. A commercial bank may specialize in just one or a few types of loans.

 

Customers who deposit money into these accounts effectively lend money to the bank and are paid interest. However, the interest rate paid by the bank on money they borrow is less than the rate charged on money they lend.
