Month-end checklist

Ten checks on the books behind each packet, before the board sees it.

Under Accounting, the checklist runs on the latest packet. It looks for balances left in Suspense or Uncategorized, regular costs missing this month, unusual coding, charges far above usual, possible duplicate payments, balances on the wrong side, expenses without a class, receivables and payables over 90 days, and the ledger's own warnings.

Each check names what it found: the account, the customer or vendor, and the amount. Refresh the packet after fixing something to run it again.
