About RecWise
A reconciliation should begin with comparing the General Ledger closing balance to the sub-ledger or other relevant sources (such as bank statements or other third-party documents). Differences between the two need to be investigated, quantified, and where possible, resolved by posting correcting journals to the general ledger or sub-ledger as required. Anomalies should be recorded as reconciling items to provide visibility. The balances should match and be fully supported with all documentation attached to the reconciliation. The review process ensures the reconciliation is complete, and you can also add a layer to approve the reconciliation being complete. A framework and a standardised process go a long way to improve the reconciliation process each month-end.
