FAQPage Schema
How do I create a balance-sheet roll-forward schedule for month-end close?

A balance-sheet roll-forward schedule links beginning balances, period activity, and ending balances tied to GL queries. You provide the account, entity, and period to generate a tied schedule with computed foot checks for reconciliation integrity.

What is the best way to support audit processes with account reconciliation schedules?

Audit support schedules validate that account movements foot correctly by tying beginning and ending balances to general ledger queries. This approach identifies discrepancies during financial reconciliation and provides auditors with verified account activity documentation.

Can I use roll-forward schedules to verify general ledger discrepancies during financial reconciliation?

Roll-forward schedules verify general ledger discrepancies by computing a foot check that validates beginning balances plus activity against ending balances. This calculation highlights unreconciled GL entries for financial controllers to investigate during month-end close.

How does a roll-forward schedule identify discrepancies in balance-sheet accounts?

A roll-forward schedule identifies balance-sheet discrepancies by tying each schedule component to specific GL queries and computing a foot check. If beginning balances and activity do not equal the ending balance, the difference flags the reconciliation error.

Do I need specific GL query parameters to construct accurate account roll-forward schedules?

Constructing accurate account roll-forward schedules requires the specific account, entity, and period parameters to query the general ledger. These inputs ensure the schedule correctly ties beginning balances, activity, and ending balances for the targeted financial reconciliation.

Why does my balance-sheet reconciliation schedule not foot correctly during month-end close?

A balance-sheet reconciliation schedule fails to foot when schedule components do not correctly tie to GL queries, causing beginning balances plus activity to mismatch ending balances. Running a computed foot check isolates the exact component causing the discrepancy.
