Stop Payment Procedure
From time to time you will have the occasion to
request a Stop Payment. This would happen if a blank check is missing, a vendor
notifies the custodian or department that a check has been lost, stolen, or
otherwise cannot be recovered OR
if a fully prepared and signed check is lost or stolen before it is released to
a vendor. A stop payment is not
required if the check or its remains are in the custodian’s possession
(see Spoiling a Check). Notify Purchasing immediately if a stop payment needs
to be issued.
