In the past I have always played a big part in the confirmation process. External would tell me the sample size, I would print the confirms and mail them out. I had a separate PO Box just for confirms. This year I'm printing and sending off to External to do the rest. Sure will make my life easier!!!
Oh how I wish that I had done this, this year.
I printed and sent out all of them (with the exception of the "control" group that external audit keeps). I am up to my eyeballs in confirms.
We actually did away with our seperate PO Box. In this town of 1000 where our main branch is, the PO people were combining the mail for the bank and audit. I have had to set up new controls.
