BASIC FBO DUTIES

(This issue was originally issued as a policy letter taken from notes of a conference by the Founder. It was approved by the Founder and adopted by the Board of Directors including the Bank Accounts section written by the Founder. It was revised and reissued incorrectly as a BPL dropping the Founder’s section on Bank Accounts. It is being reissued at the request of the Church of Scientology International in original form, revised to align with new Int Finance Network and with correct signatory and issue type. It now has the full force of policy.)

ORG CASH COLLECTIONS

The FBO collects the cash from Div III.

He verifies what he has received.

He gives a receipt for it.

He writes it all down in his records, making a total list of what the monies are.

He makes out a bank deposit slip.

He goes to the bank and he deposits the money in his FBO No. 1 Account.

FP LINE

Exec Council of the org passes on and finalizes its FP and hands it to the FBO who verifies it by production for himself.

The FBO writes a transfer check from his FBO No. 1 Bank Account and just transfers the FP amount to the org’s bank account (Main Account).

The org’s own officers are signatories on their own bank account.

The FBO and the Finance Enforcement Officer of the org are signatories on the FBO account. Where there is no Finance Enforcement Officer, the D/FBO or CO or ED are cosignatories.

The FBO has a second bank account (FBO No. 2) to which he transfers money for management expenses.

He transfers money from the first (FBO No. 1) account to SO (not org) reserves.

The FBO keeps an invoice-disbursements system on his No. 2 Account.

The FBO never spends any money out of his No. 1 Account. Money goes into it and is transferred out of it. Only transfer checks are drawn on it (to SO reserves or to Org Main Account).

The FBO keeps enough float in his No. 1 Account to cover bounced checks. Checks bounce ONLY on that account.

The minute a check bounces or fails to clear, the FBO reports the drawer for false report and personally contacts him to establish whether the check should be represented or another check drawn.

This transaction does not go through the org Div III and is not entered on the org’s books. The org is left in the position of the customer’s friend. It is the FBO who is the customer’s devil.

Div III collections have to do with collecting Qual credit invoices and advanced payments and any other credit advanced by the org.
