SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reconciliation is the process of aligning GL balances with subledgers, bank statements, and intercompany data to identify mismatches and ensure accurate period closes. This skill guides practitioners through classification of reconciling items, escalation, and documentation to support auditable close processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • GL-to-subledger reconciliation: compare GL control totals to subledger aging to reveal timing differences and posting gaps.
  • Bank reconciliation: align cash balances with bank statements, identify outstanding items, and record necessary adjustments.
  • Intercompany reconciliation: reconcile balances across related entities to support consolidation and elimination entries.
  • Reconciliation item categorization, aging analysis, escalation thresholds, and standard documentation workflows.
  • Use Case: during month-end close, quickly surface unidentified differences and drive corrective actions.

Quick Start

Pull the GL balance and corresponding subledger/bank data for the period end and begin the reconciliation review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reconcile general ledger balances with subledgers for month-end close?

To reconcile general ledger balances, compare GL control totals against subledger aging to reveal timing differences and posting gaps. This surfaces unidentified differences during month-end close, driving corrective actions and supporting accurate period closes.

What is bank reconciliation and how does it identify outstanding items?

Bank reconciliation aligns cash balances with bank statements to identify outstanding items and record necessary adjustments. This ensures recorded cash positions match external bank data, resolving mismatches for accurate financial reporting.

How do I perform intercompany reconciliation across related entities?

Intercompany reconciliation reconciles balances across related entities to support consolidation and elimination entries. By matching offsetting balances, you resolve mismatches between internal accounts and ensure accurate consolidated financial statements.

Can I apply aging analysis to categorize reconciling items?

Yes, you can apply aging analysis to categorize reconciling items and set escalation thresholds. This workflow standardizes documentation by classifying how long mismatches have remained unresolved, driving timely corrective actions.

What's the best way to start a reconciliation review?

The best way to start a reconciliation review is to pull the GL balance and corresponding subledger or bank data for the period end. This provides the required data sources to begin identifying and resolving mismatches.
