Input Balance Sheet
The Problem
Many companies use a manual process to update a workbook or system that is used to track and monitor the reconciliation status for month end close.
This manual process is: Open to error, especially for a company that is experiencing growth and continuously creating new General Ledger accounts. Often the process requires time to reconcile the manual update process back to the general ledger. In essence a reconciliation of the reconciliation process. Companies encounter the dilemma of who to assign this task to. Assigning to a high skilled staff member will ensure the task is performed accurately and efficiently, but wastes their time. On the other hand, giving this task to a more junior accountant can result in errors and poor quality.
Our Solution
If you use an ERP or have a general ledger system that can schedule a daily download of the balance sheet accounts, then we can automate the upload of input for you.
If you can only manually download a trial balance, we have an easy Input tab for you to update, which will then flow into the workbook.
Governance and Policy
The Problem
You may not have one established, but a Governance and Policy document which stipulates the rules for categorisation of your general ledger accounts is extremely important. It may be intuitive to many accountants, but often the requirements for reconciliations is forgotten.
A good Governance and Policy document dictates the requirements of reconciliation for your existing general ledger accounts and any new general ledger accounts in the future.
Our Solution
We provide you with a facility to store your Governance and Policy rules.
These rules will drive the requirements for each general ledger account category.
The requirements are contained in the reconciliation template that is assigned to each general ledger category.
Standardised Reconciliations, File Paths and Naming convention
The Problem
With many different ways of creating a reconciliation it can become difficult for approvers to interpret the data.
Saved in different locations and with inconsistent naming convention can also make finding reconciliations extremely difficult.
Our Solution
We provide you with specifically designed reconciliation templates that provides standardisation across categories of reconciliation.
We create the network structure based on the balance sheet accounts. Within this framework ease of reference is established.
Workflow
The Problem
Your main control template, continually changes from month to month.
Requires manual updating and reconciliation back to the raw input from the General Ledger.
Does not identify new accounts which remain unassigned, and fall through the cracks.
Delayed start due to waiting for a hard close of the general ledger whereby balances are locked in with no further changes allowed.
Our Solution
We provide you a structured reconciliation control template which automatically updates upon opening of Reconciliation XL
It is easy to filter to identify new accounts. And a customised end user view can be switched on so that each user is focused on their areas.
The workflow is easy to use, structured yet can easily be changed by the end user.
Reporting
The Problem
Management does not have line of sight of the month end close process.
It is unclear as to whether all reconciliations are being completed, being reviewed and what are the issues.
There is no reporting, or the current system reporting is inflexible, inaccurate and inconsistent with previous months.
Our Solution
We have simple dashboards that can easily be customized.
Dashboards can be emailed or accessed by your mobile device.
Clear audit trail of assigned reconciliations, working day completion, and approver status.
Extended reporting can be created and automated.

Case Study
At World Bank, they have assigned an accountant with the task of creating a “reconciliation list” by his manager in Excel. The accountant does not update the list correctly and spends half a day updating the list. Some accounts are missed, some have the wrong balance, and some are assigned to the wrong person.
The manager is frustrated but unwilling to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars for a reconciliation software that can automate the month end close. The manager is also unwilling to assign this task to a more qualified accountant as it is a waste of their time.
With the purchase of Reconciliation XL, the manager has been able to automate the month end close, complete reconciliations with accuracy, understands the status of reconciliations and risk.
