Late Invoices, Lost Money --Dickeson

Most of all we wouldn't be waiting around to date and send an invoice. We'd get the cash in the drawer several days faster, wouldn't we? And, why not? You tell me.

"We're waiting for the final count or the job jacket (or ticket)," is the usual excuse given by the accountants for delaying an invoice. But, we've just solved that count problem. Now we're looking for any other reason why accountants don't have the invoicing information they need. Is the job jacket lost? Laying on someone's desk awaiting action? It happens. Quite regularly in some companies, I'm sorry to say. That is something for administrative discipline.
