Accounts Receivable - Cash Receipts

The Processing Of Cash Receipts consists of depositing funds into the firm's bank account and maintaining accurate records pertaining to those deposits. L.A.W.S./Pro utilizes a cash basis accounting system meaning revenue is posted when receipts are processed rather than when client invoices are generated. Cash Receipts Processing automatically records the cash received into the firm's bank account and general ledger, and relieves outstanding client receivables.

L.A.W.S./Pro is designed to process all receipts received by the firm including:

  • Accounts receivable receipts: Funds received from clients paying off existing accounts receivable invoices.

  • Client miscellaneous receipts: Receipts received by clients for items not associated with existing invoices. Examples include retainers (on account receipts) deposited in the general fund or reimbursement of non-billed client expenses.

  • Non-client related miscellaneous receipts: All receipts not associated with existing A/R or clients. Examples include sale of assets, tax refunds, etc.

  • Trust Receipts: Funds received from clients which are deposited and stored into the firm's trust account(s).

The L.A.W.S./Pro Cash Receipts Processing is comprehensive, yet simple to use.

The user simply enters in the amount of the receipt, description, client, and/or matter to which the receipt pertains.

The user specifies the type or receipt - A/R, Client Miscellaneous, Non-client Miscellaneous, or Trust - and the system allocates the payment appropriately.

All processed receipts are listed for visual review. The total received should agree with the deposit taken to the bank.

The posting of the receipt will automatically relieve the Accounts Receivable and record the revenue received within the general ledger.
