Paying money out, the authority behind it, and what settlement does.
Money leaves a trust account against an authority. Briesa asks what the authority is before it asks for the amount, because that is the order an auditor will read it in.
Authorities
| Kind | Authority |
|---|---|
| Settlement disbursement | The contract and the settlement statement. |
| Landlord payment | The management agreement. |
| Repair invoice | The landlord’s approval, within the limit the agreement sets. |
| Commission | The agency agreement, on the entitlement it creates. |
| Refund | Whatever created the obligation to refund. |
Settlement
At settlement the disbursements go out together: the vendor’s proceeds, the commission entitlement, and anything the settlement statement directs. The campaign closes and the file keeps every line.
