Para 8.50 — MSO

8.50 An objection should be removed as soon as the necessary vouchers or document is received. The removal of an objection should be indicated in the Objection Book by an entry of the amount adjusted in the column “Amount cleared”, for the month following the month the accounts of which were closed; the progressive total of the adjustments being also noted at the same time in the manner prescribed for the posting of the amounts placed under objection. In the case of items for which the money column of the objections was not filled in the adjustment should be indicated merely by the initials of the accountant in the column for the month concerned. As a precaution against error, a red ink line should be drawn across the page in all the remaining columns. The reference to the order, account, voucher or other document on the authority of which the objection has been removed, should also be noted in the column provided for the purpose.

Note: Brief notes of, or references to all correspondence or other action taken towards clearance of any objection should be kept in the column “Remarks” of the Objection Book.
