What to provide

Deleted transaction audit ID, original type/account/date/amount/payee/splits, bank statement, surviving related records and accountant instructions.

How it works

  1. Collect original fields from audit evidence, keeping absent fields blank.
  2. Check surviving invoice/payment links so a reconstruction would not duplicate another record.
  3. Compare bank statement facts to original ledger fields without treating a statement memo as a full ledger definition.
  4. Return a completeness checklist and blocked fields only; do not recreate a transaction.

The output

deleted_id | field | original_source | surviving_link | duplicate_risk | missing_reconstruction_fact

Worked fictional example

Fictional deleted payment D has amount 250 and date but no original expense account. Hold that account; do not choose Miscellaneous. Existing surviving payment P with the same reference requires duplicate review before any reconstruction.

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.
