Records needed for this question
Original variance, settlement explanation and received payment.
How to investigate
Allocate the settled amount to the finding and document why the balance remains disputed or is closed.
An illustrative review decision
Allocate the received amount to the specific finding rather than close the entire case automatically. The remaining difference may need further evidence, an agreed compromise or a documented no-further-action decision.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
Reporting the full original finding as recovered overstates the outcome.
The result to retain
A partial-settlement bridge from original finding to residual case.
