What to provide

A redacted reconciliation checklist, statement totals and approved outstanding-item schedules.

Workflow

  1. List accounts requiring reconciliation.
  2. Match each account to its statement and reconciliation evidence.
  3. Separate missing evidence from nonzero unexplained differences.
  4. Return an exception list without posting adjustments.

Output contract

Account | statement date | reconciliation evidence | unexplained difference | owner

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional close: 8 accounts; 5 reconciled with zero unexplained difference, 2 lack statements and 1 shows an unexplained 125 difference. Return 3 exceptions, identifying only 1 numerical difference.

Review gates and limits

Outstanding checks and deposits in transit can be valid reconciling items. Never force a zero by inventing entries.
