Money paid for a delivery of a package at the front desk of a firm must be paid with?

Question

a. a check
b. an accounts payable voucher
c. personal check of the receptionist
d petty cash

Answer 1

(a) a check

A cheque leaves an audit trail and you can have better control over the payee by making sure you make the chq payable to only the name of the supplier and properly crossed. Always remember to cross your cheques. If you pay with cash you run the risk of the recipient pocketing the cash and quitting his co. and becoming uncontactable thereafter.
