6.2. Looking at 60 & 90 day and on account – do they agree with supplier
statements?
6.3. Do you employ anyone? PAYE – is it on the creditor list, if not edit the first
Bank payment of the new financial year and change the invoice date to
the year you are closing – this will create them as a creditor at the year
end
