Owner Contribution Equity Entry Check

Check that business costs paid personally carry a matching owner contribution entry. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The personally paid business expenses and the equity entries recorded.

How it works

1. List business expenses paid from personal funds.
2. Check each for a matching owner contribution entry.
3. Mark expenses missing the equity side.
4. Return the check without ledger changes.

The output

expense | amount | paid_from | contribution_entry | equity_impact

Worked fictional example

Fictional owner paid a 5,000 supplier bill from a personal card; the books show it as an expense only: the matching owner contribution entry of 5,000 is missing, understating equity by 5,000.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
