# Payout Deposit Variance Check

## Inputs
The payout report, the bank statement lines and the fee schedule.

## Workflow
1. List payouts with expected amounts and dates.
2. Match each payout to its bank deposit.
3. Flag payouts missing, late or short beyond rounding.
4. Return the check without moving money.

## Output contract
Payout | expected | deposited | variance | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional month: 14 payouts totaling 8,40,000; 13 match deposits and 1 expected 62,500 shows only 60,000, a 2,500 shortfall. Flag 1 payout.

## Review gates
Re-check payout arrival windows before flagging late. The check reports the variance; the team queries the provider.
