What should be done with check stock?

Keeping check stock in a secure location is essential for preventing fraudulent activities and safeguarding sensitive financial information. Check stock is a valuable asset that can be misused if it falls into the wrong hands, leading to financial loss or identity theft. By storing it securely, institutions can minimize risks associated with unauthorized access and ensure that only authorized personnel can use and manage the checks. This practice aligns with compliance requirements and helps maintain the integrity of the bank's financial operations.

The other options do not provide the necessary protection for check stock. Displaying it publicly does not ensure security and could expose it to theft or misuse. Storing it anywhere in the office lacks the necessary security precautions and could lead to accidental loss. Sharing it with all staff members increases the risk of unauthorized use and also undermines the control measures needed to manage check stock responsibly.
