Controls & close

A match percentage is not a close.

WREKONN separates reconciliation, completeness, accounting, approval, and sign-off so finance can see exactly what is ready and what still needs judgment.

01

Reconciliation

Compare ticketing, normalized subledger, and ERP evidence with transaction-level drilldown.

02

Source completeness

Confirm the required reporting inventory and cutoff coverage so “everything received matches” is not mistaken for “everything expected was received.”

03

Exceptions

Track unresolved variances, ownership, notes, evidence, resolution, and retained history.

04

Deferred revenue

Roll beginning balances, sales, refunds, adjustments, and posted recognition into ending deferred balances.

05

Journal approval

Prepare balanced journals, separate preparation from approval, and retain export/posting evidence.

06

Period sign-off

Freeze review evidence, protect closed periods, preserve controller sign-off, and require reasons for authorized reopenings.

Three distinctions WREKONN keeps explicit

Matched is not complete.

A reconciliation can be perfect and still omit an expected report or cutoff window. Source completeness is reviewed separately.

Exported is not posted.

Downloading a journal for an ERP is not treated as evidence that the ERP accepted and posted it.

Submitted is not signed.

Preparing a period review does not replace independent controller sign-off where the organization requires it.

Why finance cares
Close should answer what is done, what is missing, who approved it, and where the supporting evidence lives.

That is the control model WREKONN is built around.
