What to provide

The working capital components, the targets per component and the prior period.

Workflow

  1. Compute each component against its target.
  2. Attribute the total variance to components.
  3. Flag components driving the variance beyond tolerance.
  4. Return the note without reforecasting.

Output contract

Component | actual | target | variance | driver share | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional month: working capital is 18,50,000 against a 16,00,000 target; inventory overruns by 1,60,000, receivables by 90,000 and payables offset 0. Flag inventory as the driver.

Review gates and limits

Re-check component definitions match the target basis. The note explains variance; it never adjusts the ledger.
