The lesson
The capstone combines the level: a configured accounting file, controls and procedures, a month-end close, statements, reconciliation, variances and ratios.
The monthly pack should be consistent — profit in the income statement flows to equity, and closing cash agrees across statements and reconciliation.
Present the pack to a panel as you would to a board, leading with the key messages.
Step by step
- Finalise the accounting file and controls.
- Produce the monthly pack.
- Write the advice note.
- Present and answer questions.
