Reconciliation and model

Financial controls, quality and the shared data model.

Pattern grounded in delivery

This cross-project example combines solutions delivered for several clients with similar needs. Organisation and engagement details have been generalised to show the repeatable architecture and delivery approach without disclosing client information.

RECONCILIATION AND DATA MODEL

Financial reconciliation before reports refresh

Every batch receives a control status. A critical variance prevents Gold publication, while the owner sees the source, expected value, received value, tolerance and records requiring investigation.

  1. 01

    General ledger balances and movements are compared by entity, account, period and currency, including debit and credit balancing.

  2. 02

    Project costs agree to ERP documents, approved hours and the effective labour cost rates.

  3. 03

    Production execution is compared with orders, finished quantities, material consumption and reported downtime.

  4. 04

    Budget and forecast use approved file versions only; management adjustments remain separate from accounting entries.

  5. 05

    The control table records row counts, totals, variance, tolerance, status, owner and execution time for each batch.

The data model connects performance, work and execution

Conformed dimensions allow the same project to be analysed through financial performance, team effort, schedule and production delivery without duplicating logic in each report.

Finance

ledger entries, invoices, budget, forecast, project cost and revenue

Projects and tasks

scope, milestones, status, planned hours, actual work and completion forecast

Resources

team structure, availability, approved hours and labour cost

Production

orders, planned and completed quantities, consumption, variances and due dates
