Reconciliation Adjustment Evidence Review

Separate an unexplained balancing entry from evidence that transactions reconcile. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Reconciliation difference, investigation notes, proposed adjusting entry and accountant approval evidence.

How it works

1. Record the unexplained amount and sign.
2. Keep acceptance of a difference separate from matching bank transactions.
3. Record that QuickBooks can create an adjusting journal entry and recommends accountant discussion rather than using it to hide differences.
4. Return an unresolved-difference memo; no entry or finish action.

The output

difference | investigated_sources | adjustment_proposal | accountant_review | resolved_proof | hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional unresolved difference 40 could be offset by a proposed 40 adjustment. This makes arithmetic zero but supplies no source for the original gap. Do not call the reconciliation evidence-complete.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
