Accounting Procedures - Completion of Form 94A

The following procedures apply where you received a satisfactory offer and you are authorised to proceed to settlement without reference to the CCGM.

This procedure results in a settlement charge which is notified to the Accounting & Payments Service on a Form 94A. Although there are Network Units in both Cumbernauld and Shipley, all forms 94A for NTC settlements will be handled by Cumbernauld. Teams in Areas which normally work with Shipley will have to take particular care to ensure the correct form is used and is sent to the correct office.

Settlement charges should be notified to the Network Unit at Cumbernauld on a form 94A (Cumb). If this form is to be typed, use 94A (WS). The form 94A is a four-part carbonised form comprising:

Before you can fill in the form 94A, you need to know your office reference number. Your reference number for the settlement will be made up of:

• The forms begin with a reference CL typed in the first box. Where the contract settlement is dealt with by the Claimant Compliance Centre (CCC), the reference should be CL1A.
• The letters NTC followed by the office number
• The consecutive number of the duplicate sheet determined as detailed below
• The collection account. The collection account runs to the last Friday in October. So the account beginning at the end of October 2006 is 2007

Example

The reference number for the first contract settlement made by the office number 001 in account 2007 will be:

Forms 94A should not normally be sent to the Accounting and Payments Service in the last week of the collection account. If settlements are concluded in that week they should be assigned to the next account.
