This book is a comprehensive, easily-referenced guide to understanding and managing the risks typically encountered by business organizations in the United States as they make and receive payments. An understanding of these risks has become necessary in today’s environment, as evolving technologies, new laws and procedures, and the problems of check and electronic fraud have become inextricably intertwined. Managing the Risks of Payment Systems is written for corporate executives, treasurers, funds managers, controllers, auditors, bankers, and their respective legal counsels. This book provides a basic understanding of the risks of the payment systems, how the law allocates those risks among the payor, the payee, and the collecting and paying banks, and how to best manage those risks. As the authors declare in Chapter One: "We didn’t know" is no excuse. The authors explain how to develop procedures to control the payment system risks and how to maintain and protect the legal rights of the parties to banking agreements.
