Interest Accrual Versus Cash Bridge

Reconcile supplied interest expense, paid interest and interest payable without replacing accrual with cash. The download provides a specific review process. It does not make decisions or act in an account.

What to provide

Opening/closing interest payable, expense, cash paid, currency and approved adjustments.

How it works

1. Check period, entity, currency and interest-only scope.
2. Bridge opening payable plus interest expense less cash paid plus evidenced adjustments.
3. Separate loan principal and capitalised interest under supplied policy; unknown scope blocks a tie.
4. Return an accrual-to-cash bridge; do not calculate legal interest, initiate payments or post journals.

The output

opening payable | expense | cashpaid | other | expected close | actual | scope gap

Worked fictional example

Fictional opening 10 + expense 20 - cash paid 15 = 15 closing payable. Principal repayment 100 is excluded from interest cash 15.
