What problem does it solve?
This Skill reduces time-consuming reconciliation effort by matching general ledger and subledger extracts and producing a clear report of where and why they don’t agree.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Match and classify differences: Reconciles by the lowest shared key (e.g., security/account/trade date or journal line id) and categorizes breaks into matched, amount, quantity, timing, GL-only, or subledger-only.
- Deterministic normalization: Coerces dates to ISO, amounts to two-decimal numerics, and identifiers to upper-stripped strings so comparisons are exact within defined tolerances.
- Hypothesis-based cause tagging: Assigns a likely cause to each break (e.g., Timing, FX, Mapping, Duplicate/missing post, Fee/accrual, Data quality) to speed up resolution.
- Use Case: Run daily or month-end recon for a specific entity, asset class, and trade date/period, then use the break report to drive sign-off and trace root causes.
Quick Start
Use the gl-recon skill to reconcile a GL extract and a subledger extract for the same entity, asset class, and trade date, then generate the break report and summary of match rates and likely causes.
