What to provide

The bank statement, the cleared transaction list and the reconciliation summary.

Workflow

  1. Record the statement ending balance and date.
  2. Tie cleared transactions to that balance.
  3. Flag transactions cleared outside the statement period.
  4. Return the tie-out without forcing a difference.

Output contract

Item | date | amount | in period | flag | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional reconciliation: statement ending balance 1,24,500 ties to the cleared total, but 3 transactions dated after the statement close were marked cleared to force the tie. Flag 3 transactions.

Review gates and limits

Re-check the statement closing date before flagging. A forced tie is unreconciled; differences stay visible for review.
