You know what they say, 'cash is king.' Investing excess funds in short-term securities is a bit risky if the finance director is the only one handling it.

Ha! I bet the finance director is having a field day with those investment transactions. Talk about a recipe for disaster!

The policy to complete a physical inventory of all non-current assets annually is a good idea too. It will help keep track of the company's assets and ensure they are properly accounted for.
