Link the deposit to its matter
This trust account receipt template brings the depositor and matter reference together with the purpose of the payment. The Australian-dollar layout also has account-name, BSB and account-number fields. These are recorded details; entering them does not connect to a bank account or confirm where money is held.

Keep the receipt with the underlying records
- The Victorian legal regulator distinguishes trust money from other client payments and sets separate requirements for practices handling it. A receipt layout does not determine the status of funds or satisfy those obligations by itself.
- Deposit Date and Trust Receipt Number are separate from the main receipt date and number. Review both sets so they refer to the intended record.
