- Closing inventory valuation, PPE/depreciation, capital/reserves and supporting disclosure details.
- Backup before replacing saved data.
Before-finalisation checklist
Review points
- All ledgers mapped and classifications reviewed.
- BS, P&L, notes and applicable cash flow reconciled to the intended sources.
- PPE depreciation, DTA, share capital and material disclosure differences investigated.
- Policies, narrative years, related parties, ratios and ageing checked.
- PDF/Excel references, amounts, units, comparative headings, entity identity and signatories inspected.
Illustrative reconciliation example
If depreciation in P&L is ₹100,000 and the PPE/intangible workings show ₹110,000, investigate the ₹10,000 difference. Check the relevant year, disposals, adjustments and source working. Do not force the total by changing a balancing row.
