Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-footing of the payroll register involves independently verifying the totals of the payroll register to detect any inconsistencies or errors. This control can help ensure the accuracy of payroll processing. Encryption and direct deposit are not directly related to the accuracy of payroll processing, and an imprest payroll checking account deals with the safeguarding of payroll funds, not accuracy.
