What to provide

Opening/closing retained earnings, comparable net income, declared distributions, restatements and accounting policy.

How it works

  1. Check entity, currency, period and definition align across statements.
  2. Bridge opening plus net income less evidenced distributions plus approved other changes.
  3. Separate unexplained residuals from documented adjustments; do not call all equity movements retained earnings.
  4. Return a bridge for qualified finance review; do not post journals or approve dividends.

The output

entity/period | opening | net income | distributions | other | expected close | actual/residual

Worked fictional example

Fictional opening 200 + profit 50 - distributions 10 = 240. Actual 245 leaves 5 unexplained unless a sourced adjustment exists.
