Questions about cleanup
What if some records are missing?
We identify the gaps and discuss their effect on the work. Some items may remain unresolved until supporting information becomes available.
Can monthly accounting continue during cleanup?
We agree priorities and dependencies during scoping. Current reporting and historical corrections may require separate workstreams.
What happens afterward?
The handover identifies reviewed corrections, remaining exceptions and the records needed for the next close.
