What to provide

Model periods, approved closing balances, opening formulas, restatements and owner cutoff definitions.

How it works

  1. Pair each opening period with the immediately preceding comparable closing period.
  2. Separate supported restatement and scope changes from unexplained reset values.
  3. Recalculate continuity differences without overwriting inputs; missing prior close blocks a pass.
  4. Return broken links and source questions, not a model rewrite or investment conclusion.

The output

period/account | prior closing | current opening | restatement | difference | source gap

Worked fictional example

Fictional March closes cash100; April opens90 with no restatement: unexplained-10. May opening matches April closing110 and passes that continuity check only.

Checks and limits

Preserve source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use a qualified reviewer for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No send, share, account change, schedule, ledger update or payment is authorized. No live account test is claimed.
