Bank and Cash

Opening Bank Accounts

No staff member/person associated with RCSI has the authorisation to set up a bank account in the RCSI name (or any associated name). Bank accounts may only be opened based on mandates approved in advance by Council with the administration of such account(s) conducted by the RCSI Finance department.

Cash/Cheque Receipts

Payment should only be accepted by credit card/ cheque or Draft made payable to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

Cash is not an acceptable form of payment to the College except in very exceptional circumstances.

Any cheques received should be passed to the Finance Department within 24 hours of receipt. They must be sent through the Internal Post in a securely sealed envelope which should include the appropriate Lodgement Form and coding. The envelope should be marked for the attention of Ms Maisy Cheung, Finance Department, 3rd Floor, RCSI House.

Under no circumstances should cash of any amount be sent through the internal post.

To send CASH of any amount to the Finance Department please use the following procedure:

  • Place the Cash, together with a Lodgement Form into a envelope.
  • Seal the envelope securely and mark for the attention of Treasury Accountant, Finance Department, 3rd Floor, RCSI House.
  • Bring the envelope containing the Cash to the SARA Office which is situated on the first floor of the Main College Building.
  • There is a small DropSafe situated at the back of the SARA Office.
  • Take a bag on top of the small DropSafe marked GSLS and place your envelope inside.
  • Mark it for the attention of Treasury Accountant, Finance Department, 3rd Floor, RCSI House.
  • Seal the bag using the instructions written on the front of the bag.
  • Tear off the perforated strip at the top of the bag with the name GSLS and a serial number written on it. Keep this as it is your receipt for the bag.
  • Pull forward the cover of the slot at the top of the safe and place the bag onto the tray.
  • Close the cover, firmly, and the bag will drop down into the safe. Please check that the bag has dropped from the tray before leaving the Security Room.

The safe is emptied on Wednesday and Friday by Security Staff from GSLS and the contents conveyed to the finance department in a sealed box.
