The decision this review supports
Reconstruct when funds were received and which account received the payment. The goal is a documented explanation of the specific balance or charge, with a clear next action for its owner.
Avoid this false positive: A bank instruction date is not necessarily the date the carrier received cleared funds. Keep this distinction in the review notes so a potential issue is not mistaken for a confirmed financial outcome.
Records to gather before you start
Invoice due date, remittance confirmation, bank settlement and carrier posting date.
Keep the original records alongside the working comparison. Record the relevant account or transaction identifier, the period covered, and the source version. If a necessary record is missing, identify the gap and its owner instead of filling it with an assumed value.
A practical review checklist
- Reconstruct when funds were received and which account received the payment.
- Identify the source record for the billed or outstanding amount and the separate basis for the expected treatment.
- Explain any timing, scope or allocation difference before calculating a remaining variance.
- Ask the responsible owner to confirm the evidence and record whether the item needs clarification, correction or no further action.
What a useful review result contains
Retain the original amount, the supported comparison, the reasoning and the next action together. Where a change is accepted, follow it to the revised statement, applied credit or settled receipt. Keep open questions separate from confirmed adjustments; neither an alert nor a proposed change guarantees recovery.
