Check of Station Balance Sheets
 2701. The Station Balance Sheets, which are prepared separately for Coaching and Goods transactions in the form prescribed for the purpose
by each Railway Administration, are the 'personal accounts' of the Station Master. On the debit side of the account are shown the items of earnings
for the accounting of which he is responsible, classified under the various categories of traffic. On the credit side are shown the amounts remitted by
the Station Master to the Cashier, whether in "Cash" or "Vouchers", and acknowledged by the latter and other special items by which the Station
Master clears his liability. The balance represents the unrealized earnings at the close of the month for the collection of whjch the Station Master is
responsible and this forms the first liability in the Balance Sheet of the following month.
 2702.  The check of the Station Balance Sheet in the Accounts Office mainly consists in bring­ing the figures of the various traffic earnings into
accord with the corresponding figures in the connected Returns in which the transactions have been initially brought to account and which are
checked independently in the manner indicated in the previous chapters. Traffic receipts which are accounted for directly in the Station Balance
Sheets without having been included in subsidiary Returns such as miscellaneous receipts, are checked with the original Cash Transmit Notes of
Miscellaneous Receipts (COM/C.11 Revised) received daily in the Accounts Office in support of the debit entries. The main headings of the Balance
Sheets and the Account documents and Returns with which these are checked are given in the charts below. —
