Prepare a complete balance comparison

My Reconciliations (To Prepare) presents the assigned accounts and their current differences. Import complete, reconciled GL and subledger snapshots before interpreting the result. An absent feed is missing evidence, not a zero balance. A zero difference may indicate that the arithmetic agrees, but it cannot supply a person’s attestation or independent approval. Preserve the source batch and its currency so a later refresh is distinguishable from the numbers originally reviewed.

Explain the difference with supporting items

The preparer adds signed ReconciliationItems and evidence whose stored versions have content hashes. The item sum must reconcile to the recorded variance, with no unexplained remainder at review. Known timing items retain an owner and expected clearance date. An error needing a correcting entry remains connected to that work and its review. High-Variance Reconciliations helps Finance find unresolved differences of either sign, including negative amounts that an unsigned threshold could otherwise miss.

Certify the reviewed revision

Reconciliations Awaiting Review gives the assigned independent reviewer the submitted balance and explanation. After review, Reconciliations Awaiting Certification routes the final decision to the authorized approver. Preparer differs from reviewer and approver; material accounts require all three to be different people. ReconciliationCertifications retains each capacity, the source balances and the evidence manifest. A changed balance or attachment receives renewed review rather than altering the earlier certificate.

Rollout checks

Pilot an agreeing balance, a signed timing difference, a missing source feed and an unresolved correcting entry. Test the routine review route and the separate-person requirement for material accounts. Freeze a certification, refresh the source balance and verify that the previous snapshot is unchanged. Confirm that a copied attachment link remains subject to its entity and period permissions.

Before rollout, agree the entity and period population, source-system ownership and the people assigned to each decision. Preserve existing accounting identifiers during migration and reconcile imported totals to the owning system. A preview on this website does not provision a live connector or grant a user financial authority. In Proto, configure the corresponding records and actions, test permitted and rejected operations through the API as well as the interface, and retain the implementation evidence before releasing the application.

Record the accepted pilot evidence with the exact configuration revision so subsequent changes can be compared to the behavior Finance reviewed.
