SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds a roll-forward schedule tying beginning balances, activity, and ending balances to GL data, enabling accurate month-end close and audit support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a line-by-line roll-forward that reconciles starting balances, additions, accruals, reversals, payments, reclasses, and FX to ending balance.
  • Forces a foot-check to ensure X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y and surfaces any unexplained delta for review.
  • Provides an auditable output that cites the GL sources for each line and supports balance-sheet accounting workflows.

Quick Start

Provide the account (or account group), entity, and period to generate the roll-forward table.

Frequently Asked Questions about roll-forward

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a GL roll-forward schedule for month-end close?▼

A GL roll-forward reconciles beginning balances, activity, and ending balances to your general ledger data. It generates a line-by-line schedule covering additions, accruals, reversals, payments, reclasses, and FX adjustments.

How does a balance-sheet roll-forward validate the accounting equation?▼

A balance-sheet roll-forward validates the equation by forcing a foot-check, ensuring X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y. This surfaces any unexplained delta for immediate review before finalizing the schedule.

Can I generate audit-ready schedules for account groups across different entities?▼

Yes, you can generate audit-ready schedules for account groups across entities. Provide the account group, entity, and period to produce an output table with line-level evidence citing the specific GL sources.

What is the best way to tie beginning and ending balances to GL data for audit support?▼

The best way to tie balances to GL data for audit support is generating a roll-forward schedule. It outputs an auditable table with line-level evidence validating the balance equation for your month-end close package.

Why does my roll-forward schedule show an unexplained delta during month-end close?▼

Your roll-forward schedule shows an unexplained delta because the foot-check identified a discrepancy in the balance equation. The schedule surfaces this delta when your calculated activity does not reconcile to the ending balance.
