# Reconciliation Deleted Record Rebuild Checklist

Identify the evidence needed to reconstruct a deleted reconciled record without recreating a plausible but wrong transaction.

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

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

## Workflow
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.

## Output contract
deleted_id | field | original_source | surviving_link | duplicate_risk | missing_reconstruction_fact

## Fictional acceptance test
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.

## 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.
