Review journals and variance

Resolve entry reviews and explain required balance movements.

Step by step

  1. Assign the journal review System

    Capture the ledger-owned JE revision, amount, entity and currency with the effective threshold policy. Amounts above L2 go to Controller / CFO; L1 and lower always-review entries go to Senior Accountant. Exclude the source preparer from the eligible reviewer pool. A role being able to see an entry never authorizes review of its own preparation.

    • Route the source entry
    • Updates Journal entry reviews, JE review thresholds
  2. Decide the assigned journal review Senior Accountant

    The assigned authorized reviewer inspects the actual posted entry and supporting evidence. Approve the captured revision or reject with a reason and issue. A rejected entry must have a verified reversal or independently reviewed replacement before its close obligation is resolved. A new reference or Reposted flag alone cannot prove that accounting correction took place.

    • Record the journal decision
    • Updates Journal entry reviews, Issues log
    Approvalfor the assigned decision
  3. Prepare the movement explanation Senior Accountant

    Senior Accountant compares complete compatible current and prior period snapshots. Keep the currency, source cutoffs and effective absolute and percentage thresholds with flux analyses. Zero prior balance leaves percentage undefined. Explain the material movement with relevant drill-through entries, retaining the same source basis as the figures the controller will review.

    • Submit the required explanation
    • Updates Flux analyses, Flux analysis lines
  4. Approve the current explanation Controller / CFO

    Controller / CFO independently reviews the required explanation and approves its exact revision. A blank, rejected, unapproved or stale explanation remains outstanding. If a later ledger entry changes the comparison, invalidate the affected approval and rebuild the close manifest. The underlying journal and the financial close each retain their own accounting and review identities.

    • Approve the evidence-backed explanation
    • Updates Flux analyses, Close periods
    Approvalfor the assigned decision

Checks built in

What Financial Close Management enforces at each step.

  • Preserve the entity, ledger-period key and exact evidence revision through every handoff. Reject stale or cross-scope requests at the action boundary, including direct API calls.
  • A human decision belongs to the assigned authenticated person. An agent can prepare permitted work but cannot impersonate a signer or satisfy independent review through a role label.
  • Retain rejected work, comments and earlier evidence. Corrections have their own revision and renewed decisions; they cannot erase the basis of an earlier approved close.
  • Retry requests with stable identities and verify uncertain connector outcomes before continuing. The owning ledger confirms actual posting, reversal, lock and reopening results.
  • Before release, exercise the normal route, a returned submission, an unauthorized actor and a changed source revision. Reconcile the resulting evidence and confirm the unresolved item remains visible to the close manager.
Senior Accountant
Prepare assigned reconciliations and independently review other assignments. Review journal entries within the effective threshold policy.
Controller / CFO
Own financial review and final sign-off within assigned entities. Controller and CFO capacities have separately assigned authenticated signers where both are required.
