The policy will aid in ensuring all customers and suppliers are regularly reviewed so any changes of activities are identified, and the appropriate action taken.
Specific guidelines have been developed for customers and suppliers. All customers and suppliers must provide the required list of documents and completed questions for OUR GOOD DAYS COMPANY LTD - WEBER HAUS UK to undertake a risk assessment before any account is open.

Regular reviews of customer and supplier information will be conducted by Accounts officer or another authorised member of the team and the final sign off will be conducted by Credit Control Manager.
All initial checks and further reviews will be documented in the customer or supplier file and maintained on an ongoing basis. Reminders for checks should be logged onto the accounting software and Outlook calendars.
