SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps finance teams reconcile a balance-sheet account by generating a roll-forward schedule that ties beginning and ending balances to specific GL activity, supporting month-end close and audit documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

GL-tied roll-forward construction: Builds ending balance from beginning balance plus additions and accruals, minus reversals and payments, with support for reclasses/adjustments and FX translation.
Explicit tie-outs for every line: Requires each schedule component to be backed by a specific GL query or document reference so reviewers can trace every number.
Footing and gap surfacing: Enforces the check X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y and surfaces any unexplained delta instead of forcing reconciliation.

Quick Start

Use the roll-forward skill to generate a month-end roll-forward for a chosen account (or account group), entity, and period that ties every line to the relevant GL queries and verifies the balance foot.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build an audit-ready roll-forward schedule for a balance sheet account?▼

To build an audit-ready roll-forward schedule, you reconcile the beginning balance with categorized activity like additions and accruals to reach the ending balance. The schedule enforces explicit tie-outs to GL queries for every line and performs a footing check to surface any unexplained delta.

What is the best way to tie out journal entries during month-end close?▼

The best way to tie out journal entries is generating a roll-forward schedule requiring each component to be backed by a specific GL query or document reference. This allows reviewers to trace every number directly to the source during month-end close packaging and audit support.

How does footing check work for GL reconciliation schedules?▼

Footing check works for GL reconciliation by applying the formula X + A + B - C - D + E + F = Y to verify beginning balance plus additions minus payments equals ending balance. It surfaces any unexplained delta instead of forcing reconciliation.

Can I use a roll-forward schedule for accounts with FX translation and reclasses?▼

Yes, you can use a roll-forward schedule for accounts with FX translation and reclasses. The schedule constructs the ending balance from beginning balance while explicitly supporting categorized activity including additions, accruals, reversals, payments, reclasses, and FX translation adjustments.

Why does my balance sheet reconciliation show an unexplained delta?▼

Your balance sheet reconciliation shows an unexplained delta because the footing check enforces the formula X + A + B - C - D + E + F = Y. The schedule surfaces this delta instead of forcing a match, ensuring every GL component is accurately categorized and traceable.
