CCM8722 - Closing the Examination: Payment on Account - Receipt of a Cheque


If you receive a payment on account of an expected contract settlement - see CCM8720. If the payment is made by cheque send the cheque to the Accounting & Payments Service, Network Unit with a completed PS1(NUC) payslip. Ensure the payslip shows:


  • Claimant’s name and address
  • The full reference in the correct format, for example:-

POA/CL1A/NTC - Office numeral/file ref No/Account year/CCO initials

(file ref No. means the reference of the examination file because the consecutive number will probably not have been issued at this stage)

  • ‘R’ in the ‘for official use box’ if the claimant has requested a receipt.
