How does automation (reconciliation software) improve the process?

Intermediate

Answer

Reconciliation tools auto-match transactions, roll forward balances, flag exceptions, enforce standardized templates and sign-offs, and track reconciling-item aging. They cut manual effort, standardize quality, provide an audit trail, and let staff focus on genuine exceptions—shortening close and reducing errors and risk.
Real-world example Automated matching clears 90% of bank and AR items instantly, so the team only reviews true exceptions at close.
