Accrual Reversal Next Period Check

Check that accruals booked at period end reverse in the next period so expenses are not doubled.

What to provide

Accrual journal entries, reversal settings, the next-period ledger and the close calendar.

Workflow

1. List period-end accruals with their reversal flags.
2. Confirm each reversal posted in the following period.
3. Flag accruals still open after the invoice arrived.
4. Return exceptions without posting or reversing entries.

Output contract

Accrual | period | reversal date | invoice received | still open | exception | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional September accruals: 5 entries; 4 reversed on Oct 1 and 1, a 62,000 utilities accrual, stayed open after the invoice posted Oct 9. Flag the open one; the double-count risk is 62,000.

Review gates and limits

Re-check the reversal period, not only its existence. A matched invoice with an open accrual doubles the expense.
