Book-keeping

[cas42]

I am currently doing a book-keeping course and have been asked the following 2 questions:

1) Name one method which can be adopted to ensure that staff salaeries are paid directly into a bank account.

2) As a book-keeper list 2 reasons why it is vital that you keep all financial records secure.

Would appreciate any help please.
