# Closing Statement Line Sign Review

Check debit and credit sign conventions in a supplied closing-statement arithmetic review.

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

## Inputs
Statement versions, line labels, debit/credit convention, transaction ID and advisor policy.

## Workflow
1. Preserve source columns and original signs.
2. Calculate totals only under the documented buyer/seller convention.
3. Flag a duplicated or reversed line without assuming who legally owes it.
4. Return an arithmetic note; no funds transfer or closing approval.

## Output contract
line | debit/credit basis | amount | effect | source | discrepancy

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional buyer charges 1000 less evidenced credit 200 gives 800 under supplied convention. Adding the credit instead gives 1200 and is flagged, not paid.

## 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.
