Month-end close checks
Check an agreed part of month-end closing and list discrepancies. Define scope before starting.
Proposed trial
The work to address
Month-end work involves matching documents to accounting entries, identifying gaps and collecting answers. The checks often depend on one person’s private list.
Inputs
An agreed slice of close, document register, read-only accounting entries, matching rules, period and owners.
What the team receives
Checked transactions
Show documents and entries matched under agreed criteria.
Exceptions
Separate missing documents, amount differences and ambiguous matches.
Question queue
Give each exception a source and next responsible step.
A fictional worked example
This example explains the workflow and its checks. It is an illustration, not evidence of an accepted deployment.
Inputs
A fictional check of two transactions for document completeness and matching amounts. This is not an audit or automatic close.
Scroll the table sideways to see all columns.
| Check | Observation | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction A | Invoice present; supporting document absent | Ask the owner for the document set |
| Transaction B | Document: 150; accounting: 145 | Review the difference of 5 |
Missing documents and amount differences require review. The system must not post, pay or correct the transaction on its own.

What to verify before launch
The human decision
Accounting sets rules, resolves exceptions and accepts the completed checks. External document requests and corrections need defined permissions.
What to verify before launch
Proposed trial: one transaction type in a closed period. List checks and exceptions in advance and compare with an accountant’s manual review.
How to assess results
Review time, complete transaction sets, false positives and exception resolution time.
Connecting departments
Route a missing-document question to the procurement or project owner and return the response to the same task under agreed rules.
