# Bank Charge Category Consistency Review

Keep bank charges and interest in consistent categories period over period.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Bank charge and interest entries with categories across periods.

## Workflow
1. List bank charge and interest entries per period.
2. Compare categories period over period.
3. Flag the same fee type posted to different categories.
4. Return the review without reclassifying entries.

## Output contract
fee_type | period | category | prior_category | inconsistent | reclass_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional August bank fee posted to Bank charges; the same fee in September posted to Interest expense. Comparing category totals across months now misstates both lines by the fee amount.

## Review gates
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.
