Finance operations
Finance operations can use the instruction record as a common point for journal entries, provider events and balance snapshots. A reviewer investigates events whose amount or date differs from a confirmed instruction. The account snapshot gives a dated basis for checking the result.
How GST Return Preparation — India is set up for you
Instruction identity
Give the work a record number, a named owner and an organization before asking someone else to act.
Independent decision
Keep the reviewer and the source revision with the reason for approval, rejection or return.
Provider evidence
Preserve the external reference, event identity and occurrence date that explain the actual result.
Finance operations can use the instruction record as a common point for journal entries, provider events and balance snapshots. A reviewer investigates events whose amount or date differs from a confirmed instruction. The account snapshot gives a dated basis for checking the result.
Start with one account and one balance date. Load source event IDs as recorded by the provider, find the intended confirmed instruction and compare the movement. Keep a mismatched event exceptional until the source difference is resolved.
The first cycle should use an active counterparty and an account whose external identifier is known. Give the preparer and reviewer separate access, and let an Auditor follow the completed case without editing it. Compare the instruction amount with the supporting journal entries before submission. When the provider reports a movement, compare its exact amount and occurrence date with the confirmed instruction. Keep any difference in the open work list for investigation.
Agree where provider balances and exchange rates come from, how often they are refreshed and who checks exceptions. Bring forward source IDs during migration; a copied balance without its snapshot identity is hard to reconcile later. An App Administrator can maintain organization membership and counterparty details while the financial decision remains with the Accounting Reviewer. Use [implementation](/design-gst-return-preparation-india/implementation) to plan the pilot and [roles](/design-gst-return-preparation-india/roles) to test access.
