░▒▓ Overview

Finance teams spend significant time manually reconciling General Ledger entries against subledger systems. This project automates the reconciliation process, flagging exceptions that require investigation while providing detailed analytics on discrepancy patterns.

The system handles thousands of journal entries with sub-second processing, automatically categorizing discrepancies into actionable exception types for audit compliance and efficient month-end close procedures.

░▒▓ Exception Categories

The reconciliation engine automatically categorizes discrepancies into five distinct exception types for targeted investigation:

MATCHED
GL and Subledger amounts match within tolerance
VARIANCE
Amounts differ beyond tolerance threshold
MISSING_IN_GL
Entry exists in Subledger but not GL
MISSING_IN_SUBLEDGER
Entry exists in GL but not Subledger
UNBALANCED_JE
Journal entry debits ≠ credits
