If you sell on cash on delivery, here's a quick test you can run today: how many of your orders were delivered more than 14 days ago and still haven't been paid in your books?
If the answer is more than a few, your cash is probably sitting with a courier, or an order has slipped through unmatched.
The checklist is a good place to start, so save it for your next month-end. And if your courier takes longer than 7 days to pay you, it's worth asking whether that can be shortened.
