Property-management bookkeeping that connects bank activity, your trust-book records, and beneficiary ledgers. Investigate differences with a trail you can follow.
01. Adjusted bank balance
Collect the bank statement and list supported timing adjustments for the account and cut-off date under review.
02. Trust-book balance
Export the corresponding trust-book record. Preserve the filters, report settings, and transaction detail used in the comparison.
03. Beneficiary ledger total
Total the relevant beneficiary ledgers on the same basis. Document each difference and assign the next investigation step.
Define a useful engagement
A comparison is only useful when its boundaries are known. The engagement identifies each account, beneficiary population, cut-off date, source system, and reviewer. Differences remain open until supported records explain them; a matching total is not described as a compliance certification.
