Monthly Check List
- Balance the bank statement to the Trams Back Office Check Register by using the Bank Reconciliation
routine under (Payments|Bank Reconciliation). Print a copy of the Check Register for the month for ALL along with Check Register for items Not Cleared, and save them with your Bank Statement. - Create an End of Period journal entry (General Ledger|End of Period) for the month.
- Compare the Four Core report balances on the Management Summary Report (Reports|Core|ManagementSummary) to their corresponding general ledger accounts on the Trial Balance and make sure they are the same. If not, print a GL Reconciliation (Reports|General Ledger|GL Reconciliation) to locate any possible errors.
Optional: Run a Journal Entry Query with the Status set as Unposted. Run for an appropriate posted period, year-to-date of last posted period, last-year-to date of last posted period, etc., to view any unposted items that someone might have added or changed in a posted period. You can then verify or delete those items, post them, and run new monthly financials to reflect the changes made. - When (and only when) the Core Reports are in balance, post the journal entries made for that month. Prepare for your accountant the Income Statement (Reports General Ledger|Income Statement) and Balance Sheet (Reports|General Ledger|Balance Sheet) along with an Account History (Report|General Ledger/Account History) for all General Ledger accounts for the month.
