The Docushop Financial Management Policies and Procedures Template is a detailed financial guideline to keep all your general company finance department policies and procedures in one place. Often included as part of an induction pack for new finance and accounts team members.


WHAT IS A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TEMPLATE?

Financial policies are the rules or principles of your business's accounting and financial practices. They should reflect your business's values and culture. Your procedures are the instructions that outline what your employees must do to abide by these policies.


This template gives you a mix of placeholder or sample financial policy data that you can either keep if relevant to your business or replace with your own policy data (or a mix of both).


WHY DO I NEED A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TEMPLATE?

If your company has an internal finance team, or even a small admin team that helps with finance tasks, having the finance policies and procedures clearly set out helps everyone to understand exactly what is expected of them.


By putting in place a clear system you ensure your team are performing their tasks to your desired standards.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TEMPLATE?

When you have a finance department or any staff member that is not the founding team running accounting or finance responsibilities it is always wise to set a cleat foundation, this can help:


  • Staff to perform tasks quicker with less error

  • Reduce reconcilitation issues

  • Reduce overspending or incorrect spending as spending policies are listed

  • Reduce fraud or fraudlent attempts

  • Maintain proper accounting records that are compliant with state and federal requirements

  • Reduce the need for assumptions that can cause confusion


By having all your finance policies and procedures in one place you make it easier for your staff to reference and stay on top of business best practice.


Clear guidelines help staff do their job within the limitations you set and to make sure they are doing the right thing. They are especially good for new hires and staff who may be assisting your team whilst someone is away on leave.


WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE FINANCIAL POLICIES PROCEDURE?

If you do not have a system in place for your finance departmeny or general finance policies you do open yourself up to potential fraud, general businesses losses of time due to error and due to staff having to repeat tasks or be retrained.


While you may be a small business, getting a system like this when you are small is significantly esaier than doing it as you scale, and you can put your finance team or staff member in charge of updating it as they bring in new tasks, new rules and regulations change.


This document is particularly useful when you have staff on leave and vital finance tasks need to be performed by unskilled employees or even founders who have not had to perform a task for some time, that may have changed over time.

The information is not legal, financial or general advice.
The information, guides, templates, forms, instructions, articles, tips and comments provided in and through docushop.com.au is not legal, financial or general business advice, but is and includes general information / forms on issues often encountered, and about business areas designed to help docushop users, members and subscribers address their own business needs. Legal, financial or general business information, including tips, general forms, instructions, comments, and templates, no matter how seemingly customized to conform to the laws of your state, is not the same as legal, financial or general business advice, which may be the specific application of laws by lawyers licensed to practice law in your state to the specific circumstances and needs of individuals and entities. Some states have highly specific laws, and our information / forms may not take those specific laws into consideration. docushop is not a law firm and the employees and contractors (including attorneys, if any) of docushop are not acting as your attorneys, and none of them are a substitute for the advice of your own attorney or law firm licensed to practice law in your state. The employees or contractors of docushop who wrote or modified any form, instructions, tips, comments, templates and guides, are NOT providing legal or any other kind of advice, are not creating or entering into an Attorney-Client relationship, and were most likely NOT prepared or reviewed by an attorney licensed to practice law in your state, and, therefore, could not provide you with advice even if they or docushop wanted to.

Even though we take every reasonable effort to attempt to make sure our information / forms are accurate, up to date, and useful, we recommend that you consult the relevant specialist (lawyer, financial advisor, HR specialist etc) licensed to practice in your state if you want professional assurance that our information, forms, instructions, tips, comments, templates and guides, and your interpretation of it or them, and the information and input that you provide, is appropriate to your particular situation.
