Classify a transaction

Classify the transaction and retain its source reference.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Operational totals need an accounting explanation

The bursary’s collection report differs from the ledger because of an unposted adjustment and a transaction crossing the period boundary.

The decision and its context

Reconcile source references, posting dates, account mappings and approved adjustments. Keep review and posting authority clear, and use the institution’s period-close and correction conventions.

What a complete outcome looks like

Explain the difference through identifiable entries rather than forcing totals to match. A closed-period correction needs an authorized treatment and an audit trail.

FOLLOW THE HANDOVERFinancial ReportingManagement reports depend on reconciled postings and a clearly defined reporting period.
