📘 Reconciliation starts with a question narrow enough to test
Write the decision first. Not the spreadsheet.
What you’ll learn
- Frame the reconciliationDefine the reconciliation question, source register, population, and clause map before matching amounts.A defensible claim starts with a bounded question, traceable records, aligned populations, and mapped contract language.
- Test amounts and recoveriesReperform loss lines, track offsets separately, and keep customs continuity distinct from coverage arithmetic.Tested totals, recovery schedules, and operational filing records answer different parts of the same incident.
- Handle exceptions and closeoutResolve unmatched records, protect sensitive workpapers, report net position, and set recheck triggers.Visible exceptions, access controls, and reopening rules keep the reconciliation usable after the first close.
Questions this course answers
