The flowchart indicates that different individuals are responsible for various stages of the bank reconciliation process. The Treasury Accountant posts payments and performs reconciliations, while the Senior Treasury Accountant obtains and uploads bank statements, and the Treasury Supervisor approves/reviews the reconciliations. This segregation of duties ensures that no single individual has control over all aspects of the financial transaction process, which helps in preventing errors and fraud.References:
