Having consulted the relevant person in our Finance Department, I
pass on his view that the fewer bits of paper we have to handle
the better.
6,500 receipts seem to him to be more likely to result in losses than a (smaller)
number of lists. Of course lists would certainly be slower to manage at
the issue points but he sees that as tolerable.
He understood that the SLC had agreed at the recent meeting with
Finance Directors that cheques would be accompanied by lists for
students to sign and that the cheques would be in strict alpha order
of surname within HEI sites.
Given that issue is often done by temporary staff, we need something to
check the material being received from the SLC against. That suggests
an accompanying list with each batch of cheques to me even if they
also have receipts attached.
As an afterthought, I hope that the batches will not mix the 98 intake with
the new 99 intake. We should like to be able to keep them separate
without much handling by us if possible.
