Work from an assigned checklist

My Closing Tasks focuses on the authenticated owner’s unfinished work. The task includes its category, due date, status, related reconciliation or journal review and any blocking reason. Accountant starts the assignment, prepares supporting work and submits the current revision. Another person’s task is not writable merely because its URL is known. An inactive assignee remains visible in history while Close Manager arranges a replacement for outstanding work.

Review the evidence before completion

The assigned reviewer inspects the submitted evidence and records the decision against the task revision. Owner and reviewer must be distinct authenticated people. Evidence can link to an approved reconciliation, a reviewed journal or an immutable supporting file. A dependency remains a real condition: downstream completion cannot bypass unfinished predecessor work. When the underlying evidence changes after review, retain the earlier decision and request the affected review again.

Resolve blockers and authorized exceptions

Late Tasks and Open Issues Log help Close Manager distinguish an overdue assignment from work that cannot proceed. A blocked task retains its reason and owner. Skipping required work needs a documented policy basis, a distinct Close Manager decision and Controller / CFO authorization; changing the status alone is insufficient. A permitted exception remains visible in the close evidence. Due-date changes and reassignments preserve their own audit trail without erasing the original handoff.

Rollout checks

Walk a task from assignment through submission and independent review, then change its evidence and verify that the affected decision cannot be reused. Test both dependency types and an attempted self-review. Exercise a required skip with and without the Controller authorization. Confirm that reminders identify the responsible person and do not mark work complete when an email is delivered.

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.
