Buyer guide / Balance investigation

How do we trace a disputed balance back to the activity that changed it?

Pin the account, currency, date basis and interval first. Then inspect the entries that changed the balance and follow the available event and source references. Keep those coordinates consistent through the investigation.

Give the next team a reproducible question

“The balance is wrong” leaves several questions open. Which account? Which cutoff? Does the comparison concern activity date or processing date? A precise scope lets operations and finance investigate the same result. The next step is to inspect the debit and credit movements and connect them to the business activity.

The Ledger Rocket approach

Ledger Rocket’s selected-account transaction views expose transfer history and available event references. These views support account-level investigation within the selected scope and configured date basis. For a downstream summary, retain the identifiers and implement the lookup needed to reach that account and its contributing entries.

Work through these cases

  • Open the selected account’s contributing movements for the disputed interval.
  • Follow a transaction to its available event reference and compare the source evidence.
  • Repeat the investigation with the same account and date basis.

Discuss your flow

Bring one disputed balance and the record it is being compared with. Use the walkthrough to reach an explanation that another team member can reproduce.
