# Trial Balance Adjustment Evidence Check

## Inputs
The trial balance, the adjusting entries and the supporting documents with approvals.

## Workflow
1. List adjusting entries in the period.
2. Match each to its support and approver.
3. Flag adjustments lacking support or approval.
4. Return the check without posting entries.

## Output contract
Entry | amount | support | approver | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional close: 8 adjusting entries totaling 4,60,000; 6 carry support and approval and 2 totaling 95,000 have no support attached. Flag 2 entries.

## Review gates
Re-check recurring reversal timing before flagging. The check gathers evidence gaps; it never posts to the ledger.
